How many runs did each one score?
​

Answer 1

Let the runs scored by Rahul be R.

Runs scored by Sachin is 2x

3x = 198

x = 66

Rahul scored 66 runs and Sachin scored 132 runs

Answer 2

Answer:

let the nom of runs rahul scored be x and the no. of runs sachin scored be 2x

x+2x=198

3x=198

x=198/3=66

so÷

sachin = 2x = 2×66 = 132 runs

rahul = x = 66 runs
