Answer Posted / tarun

the ans is 30
how-
step 1-
first best horse can be found by having 6 races
every time a race is made,4 horses are eleminated and the
best is to race with other 4.
likewise 4+4+4+4+4+4=24 horses eleminated
total horses=24(eleminated)+1(best).

now likewise we find the the other best horses removing the
best horses obtained earlier from d group.
for second best horse
4+4+4+4+4+3=23 horses eleminated
total horses=23(eleminated)+1(best).
