Question

in a cricket match kapil took one wicket less than twice the wickets taken by Ravi. If the product of the no of wickets taken by these two is 15.Find the no of wickets taken by each

Answer 1

let no. of wickets taken by Ravi be x
no. of wickets taken by Kapil=2x-1
product =15
x*(2x-1)=15
2x^2-x=15
2x^2=15+x
x^2=15/2+x/2
