If there is no draw, in how many different ways (i.e. by winning in different matches) can India win the tournament?
Explanation:
Case 1: Indian wins all 5 matches This can happen in only 1 way.
Case 2: Indian wins 4 matches and loses 1 match i.e., WWWWL Number of ways = 5!/4! = 5 ways
Case 3: Indian wins 3 matches and loses 2 matches i.e., WWWLL Number of ways = 5!/3!2! = 10 ways
∴ Total number of ways = 1 + 5 + 10 = 16 ways
Hence, option (a).
