Question

Kavita and Babita together scored Double Century. Kavita scored three times the runs scored by Babita. Find how much Runs scored by Kavita and Babita

Answer 1

Babita scored = 50 runs

Kavita scored = 150 runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

• Kavita and Babita together scored 200 runs.
• Kavita scored three times the runs scored by Babita.

To find -

• Runs scored by Kavita and Babita.

Solution -

Let the runs scored by Babita be 'x' .

Then , the runs scored by Kavita = 3x .

According to the question ,

Runs scored by Babita + runs scored by Kavita = 200

→ x + 3x = 200

→ 4x = 200

→ x = 200/4

→ x = 50

Now , runs scored by Kavita ,

=> 3x = 3 × 50

= 150 runs

Therefore , Babita scored 50 runs while Kavita scored 150 runs .
