3. Let Suvarna, Tara, Uma and Vibha be S,T,U,V respectively
   initially in the beginning each persons share be
   V = x U = y T = z
   S = w = (x+y+z+32) Reason: She has to double others share, so she should have each and everyone’s share and still should be left out with 32

   after 1st Round of game
   S loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
   V = 2x U = 2y T = 2z

   After 2nd Round of game
   T loses and is out with 32 and doubles the others share
   V = 4x U = 4y
   This means T had 2z = 2x + 2y + 32
   After 3rd round of game
   U looses and is out with 32 and doubles others share
   V = 8x
   This means U initially has 4y = 4x + 32
   In the end V = 8x = 32

   Solving this we get x = 4, y = 12, z = 32 and w = 80
   There fore Suvarna had highest share in the beginning
