Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- We cannot say India will win or not
dere can be 2 probabilities-
1) Before last five minutes, Pakistan's scored 2 goals while India scored none.
in last 5 mins India scored 3 goals. so it becomes 3(I)-2(P) but it is said that Pakistan scored total 3 goals therefore score should be 3(I)-3(P)
Thus it is a draw
2) Suppose before last 5 mins Pakistan scored 3 goals and India scored 1.
In the last five mins India scored 3 goals therefore the score becums 4-3
that means in this case India will win.
Thus we cannot predict surely will India win or not.

- Yes,India will win
If upto last 5 min. Goals of Pakistan=x then India=x-2
In last 5 min India scored 3 goals so total goals of India=x-2+3=x+1
Pakistan scored total 3 goals,so x=3 then India's goal=x+1 =3+1 =4 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(12)
