Question

In a cricket match, Arjun scored thrice as many runs as Lalit. Together they fell short of 8

runs of triple century. Find their scores.​

Answer 1

let us assume. lalit score as = x

so if arjun scored thrice as

many as lalit ,arjun scored. = 3x

in total they scored 300 - 8 = 292 runs

Hence, x+3x = 292

4x. = 292

x. = 292÷4

x. = 73

: : lalit score = 73

arjun score = 73×3= 219

Answer 2

Answer:

73 and 219 Runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the scores of Arun be "3x" and Scores of Lalit be "x"

According to Question,

3x + x = 300 - 8

or, 4x = 292

or, x = 292/4

or, x = 73.

3x = 3 x 73 = 219

Therefore, Lalit Scored 73 runs and Arjun Scored 219 runs
