Winner has 14.5 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a chess match,

A win counts as 1 point

A draw counts as 0.5 point, and a loss counts as 0 points.

After 21 games between the two players, the winner was 8 points ahead of the loser.

To Find : How many points did the winner have?

Solution :

We will see that total points = total number of games played.

Case 1 :Let us suppose any one of the player wins all the 21 games.

Since point on one win is 1

So, point on 21 wins = 21*1 =21

⇒Total points = 21(1) + 0 = 21 = total number of games

Case 2: Let us suppose that all the games end in draw.

Since draw counts as 0.5 point

So, both players will get 0.5 for each game

Since all 21 games end in draw so both players get :

21(0.5) + 21(0.5) = 21(0.5 + 0.5) = 21(1) = 21 = total number of games

Case 3 : Let us Suppose that one player wins in 10 games and the remaining 11 games end in draw, then

⇒10(1) + 11(0.5 + 0.5) = 10 + 11 = 21 = total number of games

So, we can see that in all cases total points = total number of games played

Now, let the points of loser be x

So, the points of winner = x + 8.

Since , Total number of games played = 21

And we have seen that total points = total number of games played,

⇒x + (x + 8) = 21

⇒2x + 8 = 21

⇒2x = 21 - 8 = 13

⇒x = 6.5

Thus, Point of Winners = x + 8 = 6.5 + 8 = 14.5.

Hence Winner has 14.5 points.

the answer is: d) o, f, and kr.

atomic radius of bromine (br) is 114 pm.

atomic radius of oxygen (o) is 73 pm.

atomic radius of fluorine (f) is 72 pm.

atomic radius of krypron (kr) is 112 pm.

the atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atom.

the atomic radius varies with increasing atomic number, but usually increases because of increasing of number of electrons.

the atomic radius decreases across the periods because an increasing number of protons, because greater attraction between the protons and electrons.
