Study the given information carefully and answer the following questions.
There was a football tournament of three teams i.e. A, B and C in which each team played 2 matches. Score pattern of the tournament is:
• A team gets 2 points for scoring a goal against the opponent team.
• A team gets 3 points for scoring a goal against the opponent team from the outside area.
• There is a penalty of 1 point if a team concedes a goal.
• Only three players from each team scored the goals.
A – B Match: B is the winner of this game. Total points scored by B in this match is 4 . Also, team A scored 2 goals and none of the players scored the goal from the outside area.
A – C Match: C scored 0 points in the match. Only one player from team A scored a goal from outside area. A scored 4 points in this match.
B – C Match: B gets 6 points from match. Team C scored 1 goal more than Team B. One player from team B scored a goal from outside area but none from team C.
.In the tournament, total points scored by team B is what percent more than total points scored by team A?

A

`50%`

B

`75%`

C

`100%`

D

`125%`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the matches and calculate the total points scored by each team based on the given rules. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the A vs B Match - **B is the winner** with a total of **4 points**. - **Team A scored 2 goals** and none from outside. Using the scoring rules: - Team A scores 2 goals: \(2 \times 2 = 4\) points. - Team B must have scored 3 goals (since they won) and conceded 1 goal from Team A: - Points for B: \(3 \times 2 - 1 = 4\) points. Thus, in the A vs B match: - **Team A points**: 4 - **Team B points**: 4 ### Step 2: Analyze the A vs C Match - **Team C scored 0 points**. - **Team A scored 4 points** with one player scoring from outside. From the scoring: - One goal from outside gives Team A 3 points, and the other goal gives 2 points. - Total points for Team A in this match: \(3 + 2 - 0 = 4\) points. Since Team C scored 0 points: - **Team C points**: 0 ### Step 3: Analyze the B vs C Match - **Team B scored 6 points**. - **Team C scored 1 goal more than Team B**. Let’s denote the goals scored by Team B as \(x\) and by Team C as \(x + 1\). - For Team B: - If \(x\) is the number of goals scored, then: - Points for B: \(3 + (x - 1) = 6\) (since one goal was from outside). - This implies \(x = 3\) (2 points for 2 goals and 3 points for 1 goal from outside). Thus, Team C scored \(x + 1 = 4\) goals: - Points for C: \(4 \times 2 - 0 = 8\) points. ### Step 4: Calculate Total Points for Each Team Now we can summarize the total points for each team: - **Team A**: - Points from A vs B: 4 - Points from A vs C: 4 - **Total for A = 4 + 4 = 8 points** - **Team B**: - Points from A vs B: 4 - Points from B vs C: 6 - **Total for B = 4 + 6 = 10 points** - **Team C**: - Points from A vs C: 0 - Points from B vs C: 8 - **Total for C = 0 + 8 = 8 points** ### Step 5: Calculate the Percentage Now we need to find what percent more the total points scored by Team B is compared to Team A: - Total points scored by Team B = 10 - Total points scored by Team A = 8 The formula for percentage increase is: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{B's Points} - \text{A's Points}}{\text{A's Points}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{10 - 8}{8} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{8} \right) \times 100 = 25\% \] ### Final Answer The total points scored by team B is **25% more** than total points scored by team A. ---
