Question

In a quiz competition, where negative score for wrong answer is taken, Team A scored +10, -10, 0, -10, 10, -10 and Team B scored 10,10, -10,0,0,10 in 6 rounds successively .Which team wins the competition? How?

Answer 1

Score of Team A = (+10), (-10), 0, (-10), 10, (-10) 

Total score of Team A = (+10) + (-10) + (0) + (-10) + (10) + (-10) 

= +10 – 10 + 0 – 10 + 10 – 10 

= +20 – 30 = -10 

Score of Team B = 10, 10, -10, 0, 0, 10 

Total Score of Team B = (+10) + (+10) + (-10) + 0 + 0 + (+10) 

= +10 + 10 – 10 + 10 

= + 30 – 10 

= + 20 

-10 < + 20 

Team A < Team B 

So, Team B is the winner. Because, Team B got more score than Team A.
