Let the teams be called A, B. C, D, E& F respectively.
First Scenario:
2nd stage

Difference 5 wins (Secured by C) - 2 wins (Secured by B)=3
Second Scenario:
2nd stage

Difference 6 wins (Secured by C) - 4 wins (Secured by B)=2
Therefore Maximum possible Difference = 3

Understanding the Tournament Structure
- The tournament consists of two stages: a first round and a second round.
- In the first round, each of the six teams plays against every other team once, resulting in a total of 15 matches.
- The top two teams from this round proceed based on the points (4 points for a win, 0 for a loss).
Second Round Mechanics
- The remaining four teams, after the first round, compete against each other.
- The top two teams from this second round also qualify for the knockout stage.
Wins Calculation
- A team qualifying via the second round can win all its matches in that round (2 matches).
- The maximum number of wins for a team from the first round is 5 (winning all its matches).
Maximum Difference in Wins
- If the second-round team wins both its matches (2 wins) and the first-round team wins all of its matches (5 wins), the difference is:
Difference = Wins by first-round team - Wins by second-round team
Difference = 5 - 2 = 3
Conclusion
- Therefore, the maximum possible difference in the number of matches won by the team qualifying via the second round compared to the team that qualified in the first round is indeed 3.
- This leads to the answer being option 'A'.

Players who participated in the 1st tournament are same for other tournaments. At the end of these four tournaments, world championship is held that consists of 32 players.

The person who wins the last round in any tournament is called the winner of that tournament. If 31 slots of the 32 slots in the world championship tournament are filled and to fill the 32nd spot there is a tie between few players, exactly one of those players is selected based on certain criteria (like coin toss).After all the five tournaments, a table was made of the players in the descending order of their wins in all the five tournaments combined.
