Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- by the way sahil has done 11th match is between A nd B and C has lost total 15 matches since first 9 were won by C
10th match A beats C
11th match A nd B
12th match A/B with C (C lost)
13th match A and B
14th match A/b with C ( Clost )
16th A/b with C ( C lost)
In this way among first 11 matches C lost 1 and in rest of 27 matches mathes lost by C 38-12/2 +2=13+1=14
hence total no matches lost by C =14 +1=15

- Since there is a difference of
1 win between A and B therefore, A has won 1 game more than B.
6 win between A and C therefore, A has won 6 games more than C and,
5 win between B and C therefore, B has won 5 games more than C.
Total no. of games played (considering no match resulted in a draw)=> 15+14+9=38
Since, C has to won 9 games and A has won 1 game more than B...
Therefore, 11th game has to played between A and B in any case.
No. of games C has lost->1. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- try this
as each match will be won by someone hence total matches played =(15+14+9) = 38
As two players play a match hence each player played 38/2 =19 matches
hence C has lost (19-9)= 10 matches
As for part on it cannot be determined as we don't have any information about the sequence of the matches - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
