Hey Logic Lovers!!
I am here with some interesting brain exercise for you today.
This doesn't require any kind of knowledge or interest in the field of cricket. You just need to focus on the facts given and try to answer the questions.
League: IPL(Indian Premier League)
Teams: 8
Number of Games: In the initial stage, every team is supposed to play all other opponent teams twice.
Rules:
There will not be any tie/draw in any game.
Every game will end with a result, ie, one team winning and other team losing.
For every win, two points are awarded.
For every loss, zero points are awarded/deducted.
Top four teams after this initial stage will qualify into the semifinals.
If two or more teams end up with the same number of points, the net runrate will come into picture, and the team with the higher rating will end up above the other team/teams on the point table.
I, being a team manager and interested in statistics want some informations.
1) What is the least number of games a team can win and still be through to semi finals? In other words, I want to find out that at least how many games my team must win to stay hoping for the semi final spot.
2) What is the maximum number of games a team can win and still do not qualify for the semi finals? In other words, even after winning what maximum number of games, other teams can stop my team's way to the semi finals.
You are supposed to answer both the questions with the correct logic(the number of points of all the eight teams - on the point table) Try to answer both but if you find difficulty and can't answer both, you can comment answer of any single question too. Comment your answer and we can discuss on logic behind these kind of puzzles.
All the best Logic Lovers!!! Your brain exercise starts now... Keep puzzling.
