The XAT Games and Tournaments topic in the XAT is a unique and intriguing area, primarily appearing in the Logical Reasoning sections. These questions involve scenarios based on competitions, matches, or ranking systems where candidates must analyze rules, outcomes, or participant performances to draw logical conclusions. Problems often include league formats, knockouts, ranking sequences, or point tables, requiring a strong grasp of logical deduction and analytical skills.
Understanding the XAT syllabus and knowing all important topics at one place and preparing them is vital as it helps candidates focus their preparation effectively. We have compiled all the previously repeated questions with detailed solutions. You could also download them as PDF. To get a good quality number of questions to practice, getting enrolled in a XAT crash course will help you to streamline your preparation and enhance further.
Six teams are playing in a hockey tournament where each team is playing against every other team exactly once. At an intermediate stage, the status is as follows:
Notes:
• The team that scores more goals than it concedes wins the match, while if both the teams score the same no. of goals, the match is declared drawn.
• Ina match played between Team X and Team Y, if team X scores 1 and concedes none. then the score line would read: Team X — Team Y (1-0)
Which of the following matches are yet to be played?
Team A has won both its matches and scored 5 goals while conceding 1. Thus, the possible scorelines for team A are (4-1) & (1-0), (3-1) & (2-0), (2-1) & (3-0).
Similarly, the possible outcomes for others teams are as follows:
B: (5-1) & (0-0) and (4-0) & (1-1)
C: (2-0) & (0-0) and (1-0) & (1-1)
D: (0-0) & (1-1)
E: (0-2) & (1-2) and (0-1) & (1-3)
F: (0-1) & (0-6), (0-2) & (0-5) and so on.
By carefully observing the above scorelines, the following table can be obtained.

Thus, the matches Team A - Team B and Team E - Team F are yet to take place.
Hence, option E is the answer.
