Question

What can be the maximum points scored by the team which finishes 5^th in the group stage matches ?
___

Answer 1

To maximize the number of points scored by the team that finishes $5^{th}$, 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 $=\frac{300}{5}=60points$
