Explanation:
From the solution of previous question even after winning 5 matches a team can get eliminated so to be sure a team must win 6 matches.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Consider top three team if they won maximum number of matches then points with them is 7 + 6 + 5 = 18, remaining 28 - 18 = 10 points can be distributed to bottom 5 teams, so even after getting 2 points or 2 wins a team can advanced to next stage by tie breaker rule.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
From the solution of previous question a team even with two wins can advanced to next stage where it has to play 3 matches so total number of matches is 5.
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Let total number of teams participated in tournament is n + 10
There are 10 teams in the bottom group then n teams in the top group. It is given that the bottom group gets 45 points since we have 1 point per match therefore 45 matches playing amongst themselves. Therefore they should get 45 points from their matches against the top group i.e., 45 out of the 10n points. The top group get nC2 points from the matches among themselves. They also get ( 10n ? 45 ) points against the bottom group, which is half their total points.
Hence nC2 = 10n ? 45 ? n(n + 1) = 20n ? 90 ? n2 ? 21n + 90 = 0 hence n = 6 or 15
If n = 6, the top group would get nC2 + 10n ? 45 = nC2 + 10(6) ? 45 = 30 points, or an average of 5 points per team, while the bottom group would get (45 + 45)/10 = 90/10 = 9. This is not possible. Hence n = 15. Then total number of teams is 10 + 15 = 25.
Correct Answer: Venus Williams
Explanation:
1st let us understand the concept of the tournament.
Try to understand the table, in the 1st round the sum of seed is always 33, the same for round 2 is 17 and so on considering there is no upset.
Lindsay Davenport (Seed 2) was scheduled to to meet seed 7, i.e., Justine Henin in the quarter finals. But in the second round since match 7 - involving seed 7 (Justine Henin) and seed 10 (Venus Williams) - resulted in an upset and Venus Williams won the game, hence Davenport will meet Venus Williams in the quarter finals.
