Question

How many byes are given in a league tournament when 8 teams are participating? (1) 0 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

-0

Explanation:

use the formula to calculate byes .

subtract the 2^n from no of teams . at n=3 the byes are 0 .. therefore no bye would be given    

Answer 2

Given:

Nature of the tournament: League tournament

Number of teams participating = 8

To Find:

Number of byes

Solution:

Byes are teams that do not compete in the first round of the tournament and still qualify for the second round.

The number of byes in league tournament = 2ⁿ - No. of teams

(Here 2ⁿ ≥ No. of teams)

We know that 8 = 2 X 2 X 2 = 2³

Since the number of teams can be expressed as a repetitive multiple of 2,

The number of byes = 2³ - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0

Hence, there are no byes in the given tournament.
