Answers:

1)(c )
2)(e)
3)(e)
4)(b)


A
B
C
First  round
160-(20+40)=100
140
120+(160-120)/2   =  140
120
80+ (16-80)/2 = 120
Second round
100+ (140-100)/2  = 120
140 – (20+10)=110
120+(140 -120)/2 =130
Third round
120 + (130-120)/2 =125
110+ (130-110)/2  = 120
130- (10+5)=115
Fourth round
125 – (25+5) =117.5
120 – (125-120)/2 = 122.5
115(125-115)/2 = 120

The game stops here 
5)(a)
6)(c)
