elimination tournament, any player is eliminated with a single loss. The tournament is
played in multiple rounds subject to the following rules:
(a) If the number of players, say n, in any round is even, then the players are grouped in to
n/2 pairs. The players in each pair play a match against each other and the winner moves on
to the next round.
(b) If the number of players, say n, in any round is odd, then one of them is given a bye, that
is, he automatically moves on to the next round. The remaining (n 1) players are grouped
into (n 1)/2 pairs. The players in each pair play a match against each other and the
winners moves on to the next round. No player gets more than one bye in the entire
tournament.
Thus, if n is even, then n/2 players move on to the next round while if n is odd, then (n +
1)/2 players move on to the next round. The process is continued till the final round, which
obviously is played between two players. The winner in the final round is the champion of
the tournament.

is the exact value of n?

A: Exactly one player received a bye in the entire tournament.

B: One player received a bye while moving on to the fourth round from third round
Directions for Questions 19 to 23:
Answer the following questions based on the information given below: Abdul, Bikram and
Chetan are three professional traders who trade in shares of a company XYZ Ltd. Abdul
follows the strategy of buying at the opening of the day at 10 am and selling the whole lot at
the close of the day at 3 pm. Bikram follows the strategy of buying at hourly intervals: 10
am , 11 am, 12 noon, 1 pm and 2 pm, and selling the whole lot at the close of the day.
Further, he buys an equal number of shares in each purchase. Chetan follows a similar
pattern as Bikram but his strategy is somewhat different. Chetans total investment amount
is divided equally among his purchases. The profit or loss made by each investor is the
difference between the sale value at the close of the day less the investment in purchase.
The return for each investor is defined as the ratio of the profit or loss to the investment
amount expressed as a percentage.
