Question 6 & Question 7 & Question 8  Empty Question 6 & Question 7 & Question 8

Somehow Mario gets out of the tunnel and then finds himself face-to-face with the evil gorilla Donkey Kong. Looking down, he saw that he was standing on a gigantic chessboard. He could see various chessmen standing along the board. Donkey Kong shouted, “Domination, total domination! Three challenges, and I want domination in them all!”

Hint : In chess, domination problems mean arranging a minimum number of a specific type of chess piece such that all places on the board are attacked by atleast one peice.
Total Domination: This is the same as domination but the spaces occupied by the attacking pieces should also be attacked by some other piece.

Question 6 :
What are the minimum number of moves knights have to make on the given 8*6 chess board so that in their final position, they dominate the entire chessboard if the initial position is as given in the figure beside?
(a)8 (b)10 (c)12 (d)None of these

Question 7 :
How many ways can you arrange 4 queens such that they will dominate a 5*9 chessboard?
(a)4 (b)2 (c)6 (d)None of these

Question 8 :
A 8x8 chess board is in the shape of a torus, where the chess board is on the outer surface of the torus(as shown below). How many minimum number of Knights are required to totally dominate it?
(a)8 (b)10 (c)12 (d)None of these

7 is none of these because 4 queens can never dominate a 5*9 chess board.

Question 6 & Question 7 & Question 8  Empty question 8

Post by atulsingh.pks@gmail.com Thu Aug 11, 2016 5:44 am

the answer should surely be 12
8 knights can only dominate the chess board.
however the question asks for a total domination. 12 knights are required for that.
the placings are: d4, d5, e4, e5, a1, a8, h1, h8, c2, c7, f2, f7.
