Passage / data set

In a sports event, six teams (A, B, C, D, E and F) are competing against each other. Matches are scheduled in two stages. Each team plays three matches in stage – I and two matches in Stage – II. No team plays against the same team more than once in the event. No ties are permitted in any of the matches.

Stage-I:

  • One team won all the three matches.
  • Two teams lost all the matches.
