Question

(C) In a test match the captain made runs in the ratio of 4 : 5 in the two innings. If he made
80 runs in the first innings, how many runs did he make in the second innings?​

Answer 1

Given :

Ratio = 4 : 5

1 st innings = 80 runs

To find :

Runs of 2 nd innings

Solving problem :

= ( 4 = 80 ) : ( 5 = x )

= 4 × 80 = 5x

= 320 = 5x

= x = 320 / 5

= x = 64

64 Runs

Answer 2

Given :

1. Ratio = 4 : 5
2. First innings = 80 runs

To find :

• Runs he made in the second innings

Solution :

Value of x = 80

First innings = 4x

Second innings = 5x

4x : 5x

4x = 5x

4 ( 80 ) = 5x

320 = 5x

x = 320 / 5

x = 64

He made 64 runs in the second innings
