Answer 2

The correct answer is 0 bye (option d) will be given in this league tournament.

Given:

Number of teams in league tournament = 8 teams

To Find:

Number of Bye to be given = ?

Step wise solution:

First let us understand rules of giving bye in a league tournament.

• When the number of teams competing in a league tournament is not the power of two, the teams are given a bye.

• If the number of teams in the tournament is not a power of 2, for example, the number of teams receiving a bye is computed by subtracting the number of teams from the next higher power of 2.

Number of Bye = Next higher power of 2 - Number of teams

Now in this case 8 teams are playing match (given).

   8 = 2³  = 2 × 2 × 2

∴ 8 is the power of 2.

As per the rules no bye is given to any teams, hence the answer is 0 bye.
