Direction: In a knockout tournament 64 players participated. These 64 players are seeded from 1 to 64 with seed 1 being the top seed and seed 64 being the bottom seed. The tournament is conducted in different stages.
In stage 1 seed 1 played with seed 64 and that match is named as match 1 of stage 1, seed 2 played with seed 63 and that match is named as match 2 of stage 1, and so on.
In stage 2, winner of match 1 and match 32 of stage 1 played against each other and that match is named as Match 1 of stage 2, then winner of match 2 and match 31 of stage 1 played against each other and that match is named as Match 2 of stage 2. And so on
The same procedure is followed in further stages. Now answer the following questions.
-
If seed 15 won the tournament then what is the minimum number of upsets caused by him?
-
- 1
- 2
- 3
- None of these
Correct Option: D
From the solution of previous question we have seen that seed 32 can win the tournament without causing an upset by him. So seed 15 can also win the tournament without causing an upset by him.
