CAT DILR Set-2

Read the following information and answer the questions that
follow.
In badminton, which team serves first is decided
by a toss of coin. In a game of badminton, there
are two teams I and II, with players named A,B
and C,D in each team respectively. In the game,
one of the players serves, and a rally begins. If the
serving team wins the rally, they get a point. (A
rally is always won by one team and lost by
another). The same player keeps serving again and
again as long as his team keeps winning rallies
and earning points. If the team loses a rally, then
the other player of the same team gets the chance
to serve. He again continues to serve as long as
his team wins rallies, otherwise the serving option
moves to the other team and starts with one
player of the other team getting a chance to
serve. The game continues in this way until one
team gets 15 points and wins the match.
Now answer the following questions.
Q.1 If A is serving while leading 7-0 (i.e I has 7
points and II has zero), which of the following is
definitely true?
A) A has served more
number of times than B
B) B has served more
number of times than A
C) A has served more
number of times than C
D) C has served equal
number of times as D

Q.2 If C is serving while leading 4-3, what is

the minimum possible number of times that C
has served before?
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 3

Q.3 C is serving leading 4-3, and C has served

twice before, what is the minimum number of
serves done by team I?
A) 4
B) 5
C) 6
D) 7
Q.4 In the question above, what is the
maximum number of serves done by team I?
