2) For a certain race, 3 teams were allowed to enter 3 members each. A team earned 6 – n points whenever one of its members finished in nth place, where 1 ≤ n ≤ 5. There were no ties, disqualifications, or withdrawals. If no team earned more than 6 points, what is the least possible score a team could have earned?



A. 0

B. 1

C. 2

D. 3

E. 4

i go with 3 as well..

there for total of 15 points to be distributed( 1+2+3+4+5)

assume first 2 teams get 6 and 6 each hence 12.

which means that team 3 earned the remaining 3 points

hope it helps
