Direction: The world cup tournament is arranged as per the following rules:
In the beginning 16 teams enter and are divided into 2 groups of 8 teams each, where the team in any group plays exactly once with all the teams in the same group. At the end of this round top four teams from each group advance to the next round in which two teams play each other and the losing team goes out of the tournament.

In the 1st round in one group number of matches is (7 x 8/2) = 2
Lets consider bottom 3 they will have 3 matches between them, so remaining 28 - 3 = 25 matches have involvement of top 5 teams, if they won equal number of matches i.e 5 each then decision will be taken based on tie breaker rule, hence a team may be eliminated even after winning 5 matches.Correct Option: B
