returns. For the company belonging to the Steel or[ the Auto industry, the returns on
announcement of extraordinarily good results were only one and a halftimes that of
the initially expected returns. For the remaining two companies.

In the table below is the listing of players, seeded from highest (#1) to lowest (#32),
who are due to play in an Association of Tennis Players (ATP) tournament for women.
This tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, second
round, quarterfinals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded player plays
the lowest seeded player (seed # 32) which is designated match No.1 of first round;
the 2nd seeded player plays the 31 st seeded player which is designated match No.2
of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match No. 16 of first round is to be
played between 16th seeded player and the 17th seeded player. In thesecond round,
the winner of match No.1 of first round plays the winner of match No. 16 of first
round and is designated match No.1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match
No.2 of first round plays the winner of match No. 15 of first round, and is designated
match No.2 of second round. Thus, for instance, match No.8 of the second round is
to be played between the winner of match No.8 offirst round and the winner of
match No.9 of first round. The same pattern is followed for later rounds as well.

round gets eliminated. The survivor after the last round of voting gets to host the
event.
