The 30 members of a club decided to play a badminton singles tournament. Every time a member loses a game he is out of the tournament. There are no ties. What is the minimum number of matches that must be played to determine the winner?
- A 10
- B 15
- C 29 Correct
- D 61
Correct Answer: Option C
Clearly, every member except one must lose one gain to decide the winner.
Thus, minimum number of matches to be played = 30 - 1 = 29.
