Question No. 21
Read the following set and answer the questions that follow.
BCCI presidential elections are conducted in a peculiar manner. There are three rounds of elections separated by gaps of 4 months, so the candidate is
voted for, thrice in the election year. If the president of the current term wishes to be re-elected, he can stand only for the first round. If he wins, the others
bow out of the race. If he does not, the election process progresses into the second round and then the third. Each candidate is awarded points in every
round equal to his position in the round. The grand total of points is made and the candidate with the least total is declared the President elected. If there is
a tie for the first position then election moves to the next round.
In 2006 the current President Dajmohan Jalmiya, President lost the elections. Of the five other candidates, the winner secured the first position only in the
last round with a grand total of 7 points. Three candidates had equal total points and the highest scorer got 4, 5 and 2 points in the first, second and third
rounds respectively.
