Question

Here are the results of a contest with 9 players:

Team 1 was better than team(s): 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

Team 2 was better than team(s): 3, 4, 5, 6

Team 3 was better than team(s): 1, 4, 7

Team 4 was better than team(s): 5, 6

Team 5 was better than team(s): 3, 7, 8

Team 6 was better than team(s): 3, 5, 7, 8

Team 7 was better than team(s): 2, 4, 8

Team 8 was better than team(s): 1, 2, 3, 4

Team 9 was better than team(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Find a ranking of the 9 teams such that each team is better than the one ranked immediately after it (the first team is better than the second, the second is better thatn the third, etc.) such that team 1 is ranked in position 4. There may be more than one correct answer.

Explanation / Answer

(9,8,3,1,7,2,4,6,5)-In this one thing is clear that Team 9 is better than all.Now, taking Team 1 at position 4,then it should be one who is better than 1 and in this only Team 3,and Team 8 satisfies. So,Team 3 is positioned before Team1 and Team 8 is positioned at number 2 as it is better than Team 3.Now,it seems that Team 2 is better than 4,5,6 so it can be placed before it and Team 7 is better than Team 2 so it can be placed before it,and also after Team 1.Now,Team 4 is better than 5&6 so it can be placed after 2 and before 6 as Team 6 is better than Team 5,so Team 5 holds the last position...
