Monica, Richie, Pheebo, Chander, and Joe were bored during a power outage. They started playing thumb fight with each other to entertain themselves. They played each other only once and the rules were set as the winner gets 2 points while the loser gets 0, if the game if not ending in 5 minutes then it's a tie, and both the participants will get 1 point each. After they are done, Monica has 6 points, Richie has 5 points, Pheebo has 4 points, Joe has 2 points. How many points does Chander have?
Answers
Answer:
3 points
Step-by-step explanation:
In any situation, of a game the number of points give out are 2. As, if there is a clear winner in 5 mins, the winner gets 2 points, and the loser is given 0 points.
2+0=2
If the game doesn't end in 5 mins, both players get 1 point.
1+1=2
So,
the number of total points earned will be,
(number of games× 2) points.
How to find the number of games?
Two people play with each other, only once. So, first Monica plays with everyone.
4 games
Then, Richie, plays with the others, except Monic as Monica already played with her.
3 games
So on...
With each person, one game less has to be added to the total 'no. of games'
4+3+2+1 games were played.
10 games were played.
10×2=20 points
Total points.
The number of points described in the question are 6, 5, 4 and 2.
20-(6+5+4+2)
Is our answer.
20-17
3
∴3 points
