    Question

    In a round‐robin tournament, after each team has played exactly four matches, the number of wins/ losses of 6 participating teams are as follows

    Which of the two teams have certainly NOT played with each other?

    A.

    A and B

    B.

    C and F

    C.

    E and D

    D.

    B and E

    Correct option is D


    Given:
    1. It’s a round-robin tournament with each team playing exactly four matches.
    2. There are 6 teams (A, B, C, D, E, F) with the following win/loss records:
    · Team A: 4 wins, 0 losses
    · Team B: 0 wins, 4 losses
    · Team C: 3 wins, 1 loss
    · Team D: 2 wins, 2 losses
    · Team E: 0 wins, 4 losses
    · Team F: 3 wins, 1 loss
    Observations:
    1. Team A has 4 wins and 0 losses, which means Team A won all of its matches.
    2. Team B and Team E both have 0 wins and 4 losses, which means they lost all of their matches.
    3. Since each team plays exactly four matches, any team with 0 wins could not have played against any other team with 0 wins (because they would each need to lose that match, which is impossible in a single game).
    Conclusion:
    Since Team B and Team E both lost all of their matches, it’s certain that B and E did not play against each other. If they had, one of them would have at least one win.
    Answer:
    The correct answer is: (d) B and E
