Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game,given the expression
N=12+X*(Y-Z)
where X,Y,Z are variables representing single digits(0 to 9).Alok would like to maximise N while Bhanu would like to minimise it.Towards this end Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes it for a variable of her choice(X,Y,Z).Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be??
Please please give the answer with proper explanation.its very urgent.

i am giving you simple trick for these type of questions.
if the expression will be like 12+x*(y-z),then simply add 18 with 12 and the answer will be 30.i.e, x*(y-z) = 18
and x+y-z=11,x-y-z=2
