SOLUTION:
DEDUCTIVE APPROACH
Identify the given assumption
Traviz = 3 rocks, 6 scissors, 1paper
Mckoy = 2 rocks, 4 scissors, 4 papers
Then , try to expand and evaluate the given assumptions using table or chart but
in this particular problem, table is most accurate approach.
Answer:
Traviz wins 7 times against Mckoy (3 wins)

HINTS:
POGIS

Hence:
30-20 = 10
Answer:
There are 10 PROGS that are neither POGI nor GROP

We can think of any variable to represents the given the assumption, so here
I would use the variable k and h wherein:
k is the number of correct problems, and
h for the number of wrong problems
After 26 problems, the boy doesn't owe anything. Therefore:
8 k – 5 h=0
Since the total number of the problem is 26, then the sum of the correct and
incorrect problems are equals to 26:
k + h=26
Now, solve the identified equation: First, we have to get the value of k
k +h=26
k =26 – h
Then, substitute the value of k from the 1st equation
8 k – 5 h=0
8 k – 5 ( 16 )=0
8 k =80
k =10
k + h=26 ; 10+16=26
Answer:
Therefore, the boy solved 10 problems CORRECTLY
There are several approaches to solve this particular problem and I prefer
the crudest approach.
Just get the sum of 1 to 9 ( since people will not have a handshake on their
own)
1+2+3+ 4 …+9=45

Answer:
Therefore , there are 45 handshakes will take place

Answer:
Hence , there are 252 ways can a student answer the question that
are either 5 true nor 5 false

Then, get the product of 8 and 2, since, the tournament Was held under a double round-
robin scheme
8 × 2 = 16
Finally, add the sum and the product of the 2 equation
35 + 16 = 56
Answer:
Therefore , there are 56 matches shall be played across the
tournament
