Answer 1

Answer:

Matches played between 8 teams =7+6+5+4+3+2+1=21

In these 8 matches, 4 winners will emerge.

So, total number of matches between these 4 winners = 3+2+1=6

Two winners will emerge from these 4 winners who will play the final match.

so, total matches played in the tournament = 21+6+1=28 (option C)
