Correct Answer - Option 4 : 12 & 6
Given:
Total number of teams = 4
Number of times each team play against each other = 2 times
Calculation:
Let us take the four teams to be A, B, C, D
Matches played at home = A-B, B-C, C-D, D-A, A-C, B-D ----(i)
Total matches at home = 6 matches
Total matches at away = 6 matches
Total number of matches played in tournament = 12 matches
From (i)
Matches played by A in-home = 3 matches
Matches played by A in away = 3 matches
Total matches played in tournament by A = 6 matches
similarly, 6 matches will be played by each team
∴ The total number of matches played in the tournament is 12 matches and 6 matches were played by each team
