Let the total games to be played be X
The total games played till date is 17 + 3 = 20

2X/3 = 20
X = 30
Pending Games are then 30-20 = 10
For winning a minimum of 3/4 of the total games, the team can lose a maximum of X/4 games : thus it can lose 30/4 = a max of 7.5 == 7 games
thus its allowed to lose 4 more games

Ans is D
