Question

In a cricket match, Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together their
runs fell two short of a double century. How many runs did each one score?​

Answer 1

hi there!!!

Solution:

Let Rahul score x runs and Sachin score y runs.

according to the first condition,

y= 2x....(1)

according to the second condition,

x+y= 200-2

x+y= 198.....(2)

substituting value of x in (2),

x+2x= 198

3x= 198

x= 198/3= 66

hence,

Rahul scored= x runs= 66 runs.

now,

y= 2x

y= 2× 66

y= 132

hence,

Sachin scored = y runs= 132 runs

hope this helps!!! Thanks for asking! ☺✌❤
