Solution

To maximize the number of points scored by the team that finishes $5^{t h}$ , we need to minimize the points scored by the last 3 teams.
Matches played by the last 3 teams $=^{3} C_{2} \times 3 = 9$
Points scored by the last 3 teams $= 9 \times 4 = 36$
Total points of the tournament = 336
Remaining points = 336-36 = 300
Maximum points scored by the team $= \frac{300}{5} = 60 p o i n t s$
