Explanation Given information: Game of musical chair: In the game of musical chair, People or things are moved, shuffled, or rearranged from one position to another. There always one more person than number of chairs, as participant in the game. When the music stops, everyone scrambles for a chair, the person who doesn’t get a chair loses the game and get eliminated for next round of music. Then for second round all participants gets up from the chair and one chair is also being removed. The situation continues until the winner got his chair in such a way that in last round two participants are remaining with one chair. Concept used: If members of one set X can be evenly matched with the members of another set Y, then the situation is called One-to-one correspondence...
