A total of 512 players participated in a single tennis knock out tournament. 
What is the total number of matches played in the tournament? 
(Knockout means if a player loses, he is out of the tournament). No match ends in a tie. 
A 511 

B 512 

C 256 

D 255 

E 1023 

I chose D, solved this way - after first 256 matches, remaing players 256 (those 256 who lost are knocked out), after another 128 matches, remaining players are 128, after 64 more matches, no of remainig players are 64, after 32, 32, after 16, 16, after 8, 8, after 4, 4, after 2,2, and then 1 - 
total 256 + 128+64+32+16+8+1 = 255 matches ................
