than the home team and the visiting team won the match by 43 runs. Find the score of
the home team in their second innings.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Kapil Dev Nikhanj (born 6 January 1959) is a former Indian cricketer. He was a fast bowler and a hard hitting middle order batsman. Dev is widely regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders to play the game, he is also regarded as one of the greatest captains in the history of cricket. He was named by Wisden as the Indian Cricketer of the Century in 2002.[1]

Answer 2

Answer:

The Number of excess run made by visiting team = 85+43 = 128

When the difference is 64,the runs made by home team = 100

Therefore, when the difference is 128,the runs made by home team =

$\frac{100}{64} \times 128 \\ = 200$

Hence, 200 is the score of the home team in their second innings.
