If there are only 5 upsets in the tournament, then who could be the lowest seeded player winning the tournament?
Explanation:
We can use options to solve this question.
Option (c): For player seeded 63, he will have to do 6 upsets (1 in each of the 6 rounds) to win the tournament. Hence, with 5 upsets he cannot win the tournament.
Option (d): Player seeded 32 will win its match in round 1 without upset (he will play against player seeded 33).
From round 2nd onwards if he is involved in 1 upset for every round, he can win the tournament with 5 upsets.
Hence, the lowest seeded player that can win the tournament with 5 upsets is player seeded 32.
Hence, option (d).
