  • Question
  • A mixed doubles tennis game is to be played between two teams ( each team consists of one male and one female). There are four married couples. No team is to consist of a husband and his wife. What is the maximum number of games that can be played?


  • Options
  • A. 12
  • B. 48
  • C. 36
  • D. 42

  • Correct Answer
  • 48 

    Explanation

    Married couples :
    MF MF MF MF ? AB, CD, EF, CD

    Possible teams :
    AD CB EB GB
    AF CF ED GD
    AH CH EH GF

    Team AD can play only with CB, CF, CH, EB, EH, GB, GF (7 teams).
    Teams AD cannot play with AF, AH, ED and GD.

    The same will apply with all teams, So, number of total matches = 12 x 7 = 84
    But every match includes 2 teams, so the actual number of matches = 84/2 = 48
