If Bobby Joseph and David D’souza met in the third round, what was the least number of revelations in the whole process?


Options:
A .   6
B .   8
C .   7
D .   9
E .   5
Answer: Option B
:
B

We will have the minimum revelations when the score distribution in both groups are7 5 5 5 3 1 1 1

Assuming rank 1 and rank 2 win all the face-offs in their group. There are no revelations. Rank 9 and 12 win 5 face-offs to advance to the next round. Hence, number of revelations = 2+2=4. Rank 15 and rank 16 win one face-off each = 1+1=2 more revelations in this round

Number of revelations in the next module =2. Hence, total number of revelations= 8. Answer is option (b)
