  2. Solution :-

    Case 1) :-

    • MJ(1) given pointed the torch to Ravi(2) and passed the torch to the person marked as third.
    • Ravi(2) walked away .
    • Now, (3) pointed the torch at the person next to him(4) and give torch to 5th . (4)th walked away .
    • Similarly, 5th pointed the torch to 6th and he walked away and give torch to 7th .
    • This process continue and in the end 99 pointed the torch to 100 and he walked away .

    Conclusion :-

    • All people with even positions walked away .

    So,

    Left People are :- 1, 3, 5 , 7, 9, 11 , ____________ 99 .

    Case 2) :-

    • 1 pointed the torch at the person next to him, who is 3 and he walked away and gave torch to 5th .
    • 5th pointed the torch to 7th and he walked away and gave torch to 9th .
    • Similarly, in the end , 97 pointed the torch to 99 and he walked away .

    So,

    Left People are :- 1, 5, 9 , 13, 17, 21 , ____________ 97 .

    Case 3) :-

    • 1 pointed the torch at the person next to him, who is 5 and he walked away and gave torch to 9th .
    • 9th pointed the torch to 13th and he walked away and gave torch to 17th .
    • Similarly, in the end , 89 pointed the torch to 93 and he walked away and 97 torch was in the hand of 97 .

    So,

    Left People are :- 1, 9, 17 , 25, _______ 89 ,97 .

    Case 4) :-

    • Now, since they were in circle, 97 pointed the torch at the person next to him, who is 1 and he walked away and gave torch to 9th .
    • 9th pointed the torch to 17th and he walked away and gave torch to 25th .
    • Similarly, in the end , 89 pointed the torch to 97 and he walked away .

    So,

    Left People are :- 9, 25, 41, 57, 73, 89 .

    Case 5) :-

    • 9 pointed the torch at the person next to him, who is 25 and he walked away and gave torch to 41 .
    • 41 pointed the torch to 57th and he walked away and gave torch to 73th .
    • Similarly, in the end , 73 pointed the torch to 89 and he walked away .

    So,

    Case 6) :-

    • 9 pointed the torch at the person next to him, who is 41 and he walked away and gave torch to 73th .

    therefore, In the end left people are 9 and 73 . now, the torch is in the hand of 73 . Since they are in circle,

    • Next person next to 73 is 9 .

    Now, 73 pointed the torch at 9 and he also walked away .

    hence, we can conclude that, the number of the last dancer is 73 (d) (Ans.)
