The matches are played in different round, where every round half of the team get eliminated from tournament. If the there are 7 rounds played, in knock out turnoi, how many matches were played?

• (7-1)final means 7th round --> 1 match
  (7-2)semifinal means 6th round--> 2 matches
  (7-3)quat final means 5th round---> 4 matches
  (7-4)round means 4th round-------> 8 matches
  (7-5)round means 3rd round------> 16 matches
  (7-6)round means 2nd round------> 32 matches
  (7-7)round means first round-----> 64 matches
  -----> total matches==>1+2+4+8+16+32+64=127 matches(or{2^7(no. of round)}-1=127)
  -----> in first round total 64 matches so total teams are 2*64==>128 teams

• in each round half of the team gets eliminated, so the the formula to solve is
  (2)^n-1
  here (2)^7-1
  so ans is 127

• 64+32+16+8+4+2+1=127match n 128 team

• ans is 128
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
• ans is 255.
