Question

The table given below shows the results of the matches played by 8 teams in a Kabaddi championship tournament.

Teams	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
Total Matches played	8	7	n	a	9	10	8	y
Matches won	5	6	4	7	b	6	x	3
Matches lost	k	m	6	2	3	c	4	6

Find the value of all the variables in the table given above

Answer 1

We know that
Total matches played = Matches won + Matches lost
5 + k = 8
⇒ k = 3
7 + 2 = a
a = 9
7 = 6 + m
⇒ m = 1
b + 3 = 9
⇒ b = 6
4 + 6 = n
⇒ n = 10
6 + c = 10
⇒ c = 4
x + 4 = 8
⇒ x = 4
3 + 6 = y
⇒ y = 9
