    Question

    62 people are participating in a tournament. Each one

    has to play with every other person. If 20 persons are disqualified before the start of the tournament, then how many games would be played in the tournament?
    A 802 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 795 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 861 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 684 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initially, there are 62 persons participating in the tournament. However, 20 persons are disqualified. Remaining persons = 62 - 20 = 42 So, the number of games to be played = (42 X 41) ÷ 2 The number of games to be played = 21 X 41 = 861 Thus, 861 games would now be played in the tournament.
