Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 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?  

• So this is a game with two people playing only once and the winner gets 2 points and the loser gets 0 points in a time period of 5 minutes.
• If the game ends in a tie, then both players get 1 point each and it will be 2
• Now the number of games will be
• So first Monica will play with everyone and it will be 4 games
• Next Richie plays with everyone excepting Monica, so it will be 3 games.
• And so we get the number of games played will be 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 games.
• Since the games played is 10 and the points earned will be 10 x 2 = 20.
• According to the question, number of points is 6,5,4,2
• So 6 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 17
• So points earned will be 20 – 17 = 3  
• So it will be 3 points for Chander.
