    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)  61                              

    B)  15

    C)  29                  

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

          Clearly, every member except one (i.e. the winner) must lose one game to decide the winner. So, minimum number of matches to be played = 30 - 1 = 29.
