Explanation
The Conditions in Simple Terms
-

-
Rule (III): Birlas > Tatas (Birlas ne 2 games jeete, Tatas ne 1).

Logic / Rules Applied |
| Game 1 |
Mr. Tata vs Mrs. Tata |
Mr. Tata |
Rule (I): Spouses only in Game 1. |
| Game 2 |
Mr. Tata vs Mrs. Birla |
Mrs. Birla |
Rule (II): 1 Woman win needed. Birla win count starts. |
| Game 3 |
Mrs. Birla vs Mr. Birla |
Mr. Birla |
Rule (III): Birlas need 2 wins. Rule (II): Men need 2 wins. |
Note: Upar wali table me ek error hai—Rule (I) ke hisaab se Game 3 me Birla vs Birla nahi ho sakta. Isliye correct sequence ye hoga:
The Correct Undefeated Sequence
-
Game 1 (Married Couple): Mr. Tata vs Mrs. Tata → Mrs. Tata wins.
(Tatas won 1, Women won 1)
-
Game 2: Mrs. Tata vs Mr. Birla → Mr. Birla wins.
(Birlas won 1, Men won 1, Mrs. Tata is out)
-
Game 3: Mr. Birla vs Mr. Tata (No, he lost) → Mr. Birla vs Mr. Tata is not possible.
Wait, simplified logic ye hai:
Tournament me 3 games hue aur 4 log the. Sirf ek hi banda aisa ho sakta hai jisne koi game nahi haara (The Final Winner).
Agar Mr. Birla Game 2 aur Game 3 dono jeet jata hai, toh wo 2 wins (Birla wins) aur 2 wins (Men wins) ka quota pura kar leta hai bina koi match haare.
Final Answer
Mr. Birla did not lose a game.
Correct Option: (a) Mr. Birla
