Question

What could be the minimum absolute difference between the scores of Kenya and India?

• A. 1
• B. 3
• C. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C 4

India's score = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 17
In order to minimise the absolute difference between the scores of India and Kenya, we need to make Kenya's score as close as possible to 17. Since Kenya lost against Zimbabwe and India and drew against Australia, if it wins the rest of its matches, its score would be
= 1 + 3 +3 +3 +3 = 13.
Required minimum difference = 17- 13 = 4.
