Question

in a cricket match sumit took4 more than twice the number of wicket taken by amit together they took 16wickets .find the wickets taken by sumit and amit

Answer 1

let the number of wickets taken by Amit be X
_wickets taken by sumit=2x+4
now total wickets=2x+4 + x
16 =3x+4
12=3x
4=x

wickets taken by amit= x=4
wickets taken by sumit=2x+4=4*2 +4= 12

Answer 2

Answer:

Amit took 4 wickets

Sumit took 12 wickets

Step-by-step explanation: Let the number of wickets taken by Amit be = x

Then, according to the question, Sumit took 4 wickets more than twice of that Amit took = (2x + 4)

and total number of wickets taken by both = 16

Then,

          x + (2x + 4) = 16

    =>  3x + 4 = 16

    =>  3x = 12

    =>  x = 12/3 = 4

Therefore, wickets taken by Amit = x = 4 and wickets taken by Sumit = (2x + 4) = (2 × 4 + 4) = 12
