Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The number of mathces in the first round`=.^(6)C_(2)+.^(6)C_(2)=30`
The number of matches in the next round`=.^(6)C_(2)=25`
and the number of matches in the semi-final round`=.^(4)C_(2)=6`
`therefore`The required number of matches=30+15+6+2=53
[`because` for 'best of three' atleast two matches are played].
