• pls explain it clearly
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• ans is 110 balls are used....
  
  total no of matches initially =110/2+1(111)=55+1(55 balls)
  after this total no of matches played=54/2+1+1=27+2(27+1=28 balls)
  after this total no of matches played=28/2=14(14 balls)
  after this total no of matches played=14/2=7 balls
  after this total no of matches played=6/2+1=3+1(3 balls)
  after this total no of matches played=2/2+1+1(3+1)=2 balls(one match played b/w two and another one match played b/w remaining two..)
  after this total no of matches played=2/2=1
  therefore total no of matches played=55+28+14+7+3+2+1=110 balls are used...

• 1 player is removed each day. therefore 111 balls. bt atlast there should b two players to play. Therefore, 111-1=110 balls
