Since there were 30 matches in total ,hence total no. of win must be 30.
Since the 5 teams hav won 24 matches hence X team must have won 6 times.
My Ans is C)6

Plz give OA.

6 teams, each plays a total of 10 games = 60 total games.

you have to remember that some games are duplicated

ie. ab,ac, ad, ae, ax.......ba, bc,bd,be,bx .. because of the duplication you divide the total number of games 60 by 2, this gives 30 diferent games total.


hope it helps

Hi .

To find the total no. of games since they r 6 teams nd 2 teams play with each other take it as 6C2. This gives 15.since they play each other twice multiply this by 2 i.e 15*2=30.. nd hence 30 games in all

Permutation

by evansbd » Thu Jul 17, 2008 7:29 am
Why cant you use the permutation equation instead of combination muliplied by two or counting outcomes then dividing by two?

Permutation = 6!/(6-2)! = 30

Because it is awkward to explain it that way? It's just saying why can't you just multiple by 10 and then divide by 2*5... :?

The difference between 6C2 and 6P2 is just 2, so you end up dividing 2 anyway. The point is the order does not matter when picking teams to play in a game, so combination makes more sense.
