Answer 2

Answer:

The score of Rajat is equal to 73 runs and the score of Tivesh is equal to 219 runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, in a cricket match the score of Rajat is thrice score of Tivesh.

Then, the score of Tivesh will be = 3x

According to the question, the sum of the score of Rajat and Tivesh is 8 runs less than a triple century.

We know that the one century is equal to 100 runs.

$x + 3x = 300 -8$

$4x = 292$
