Question

In the dartboard given below, there are four circles with four different points allocated to each of them. The aim is to collect exactly 100 points to win the match.
What is the minimum number of throws required to win the game?

• A. 6
• B. 4
• C. 8
• D. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6


In the given image, the circles with 23 and 17 add up to 40 points, and the circles with 19 and 11 add up to 30 points.

So, if the aim is to score 100, then it has to be a combination of a 40 and two 30s, i.e., 40 + 30 + 30, which require 2 throws each.

So the total number of throws required is 2 + 2 + 2, which is 6.
