Hi PUYS,

Kindly solve this set for me and pls provide me with the detailed solutions.

16 teams from different colleges participated in an inter-college football competition. each of these times has a different seed from 1 to 16. The 16 teams from the highest seed (ie seed1) through the lowest seed (ie seed 16) in that order, are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,OAND P

tHE TEAMS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS OF 8 TEAMS EACH. tHE FIRST GROUP consists of all odd- no seeded teams (team 1,3,5 etc) and the second group consists of the rest of the teams. In each group, each team plays with each of the other teams exactly once. None of the matches in the tournament ended in a draw. From each group, the top 2 teams (ie tames with highest no of wins) advance into semis. if more than one team has the same no of wins, the team with the better goal difference is palced higher. Assuem that no 2 teams end up with the same goal difference.

In the semis, the top team from each grp plays against the team which is palyed second from the other grp. the winners of the semis play the finals and the winners of the finals is said to have won the tournament.
An upset is said to be caused whenever a lower seeded team beats a higher seeded team,.

1) If Team J won the tournament and the total no of upsets in the tournament is the meast possible, what is the max possible no of wins for team J?

1) 5 2) 6 3) 7(Ans) 4)8 5) 9

2) If the no of upsets in the matches involving any team is at most 3, which is the lowest seeded team that coul dhave won the tournament?

1) J 2) K 3) L 4) M (ans)

3) If more than half the no of matches in the tournament ended in upsets, which is the highest seeded team that could have won the tournamnet?

1) A (ans) 2) D 3) G $) F

4) If team I and M played the finals, the what is the least no of upsets in the tournamnet?

1) 6 2) 7 3) 8 (ans) 4) 9

Thanx in advance for any clarifications provided...

I got about 26.5!!!!

where will I land with this score?? any pointers???

@shyam...

Is the answer 7??
jus tryin...
:P

a+b+c+d = 4
So Combinations => (12+4-1)c12 = 455

@divishth
dint get this one too...
:(

1st Meeting Is Point = Where They Exchange Speed.
2nd Meeting Point = Starting Point
So Answer 2

@ divishth..
can u tell me the approach to solvin such problems?

Hello PUYS!!!
Have a couple of doubts.... Pl help me solve them...

A) Which is the least power of 3 that will definitely dicide 13^204-1?

1) 204 2) 2 (ans) 3) 8 4) 102 5)16

B) There is an unlimited stock of blue,red,white and grey balls. the balls

from the stock?

1) 35 2) 475 3) 455 (ans) 4)495 5) 695

C) If f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, then find value of c?
1) f(x) is exactly divisible by (x+1) and (x+2)
2) f(x) leaves a remainder of 12 when divided by (x-1)

Are these two statements sufficient?

D) Given that a,b and c are the only factors of a number. Is teh sum of

factors a prime no less than 25?
1) (b+c) is a multiple of six
2) the diff between b and c is 20.

Are these two sufficient for finding answer?

E) Which of the following is true for x, if x= log (base 6) 5 + log (base

7) 6 + log (base 25) 7?

1) x>= 3 * cuberoot of 1/2 (ans)
2) x>= 5 * cuberoot of 2/5
3) x>= 3 * cuberoot of 2/5
4) x>= 5 * cuberoot of 1/2

directions. When they meet for 1 st time they exchange their speeds ie

their respective speeds become 20 m/s and 10 m/s. They continue this

way every time they meet. They stop after 22 nd meeting. At how many

distinct points on the track do they meet??
1) 2 (ans) 2) 3 3) 6 4) 8 5) 12

a few other sums... need the approach basically.. kindly help me out puys....

1) A person starts writin natural nos, startin from 1, on a blackboard, at the rate of 60 digits per min. At the same time, another person begins to erase the digits from 1 onwards, at the rate of 40 digits per min. Find the difference between the leftmost and the rightmost digit on the blackboard immediately after 1 hr.

1) 7 2) 1 (ans) 3) 6 4) 0

2) The inhabitants of planet rahu measure time in hours and mins which are different from hrs and mins on earth. Their day consists of 36 rahuian hrs with each hr having 120 rahuian mins and therefore dials of their clocks show 36 hrs. What is the angle between the hour hand and min hand of the rahuian clock when it shows a time of 9:48? rahuian measure angles in degrees, the way we do. but for them angle around a point is 720 degree..

1) 100 (ans) 2) 112 3) 24 4) none of these

these questions are taken from past yrs TIME papers.. but i cud not solve these.. kindly help me puys...

1) 3 2) 4 3) 5 4) 6

2)There are taps numbered 1,2,3...n fitted to a tank. If each tap, starting from the second tap, has a fillin capacity equal to the sum of the fillin capacities of all the taps numbered less than it, and the difference in the fillin capacities of the twelfth tap and the eleventh tap is 1792 litres per hour, find the fillin capacity(inlt/hr) of the eighth tap.
