Answer the ques ons on the basis of the data given below
The Hockey World cup held last year was conducted as
follows:
Teams from ten different countries par cipated in this
tournament. These teams were divided into two groups with
each group having 5 teams. Group A comprised India,
Australia, Holland, China and Malaysia. Group B comprised
Pakistan, Spain, Argen na, England and Germany.
For any team, a match results in a win(W), a draw(D) or a
loss(L). A team was awarded 5 points for a win and 2 points for
a draw. A loss did not yield any points.
The total points of a team is the sum of the points scored in all
the matches.
In the first round of matches, each team played with every
other team in its group exactly once. The top two teams (on
the basis of total points) from both the groups progressed to
the second round.
In the second round, each team played with the other three
teams once. The team with the highest total points in the
second round was declared the winner, while the second
highest was declared the runner-up in the tournament.
The points from the first round do not get carried over to the
second round.
The following data is available about the performance of the
various teams in the tournament:
i. In round 1, the five teams in group A secured 17, 12, 11, 7
and 0 points (in some order)
ii. In round 1, the five teams in Group B secured 20, 9, 7, 6
and 4 points (in some order)
