Answer 1

Answer:

If Mukesh scored 21 runs more than Girish in the cricket match and the sum of the runs scored by both of them together is 237, then Girish scored 108 runs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mukesh scored 21 runs more than Girish in the cricket match

Let X be the runs that Mukesh scored and Y be the runs that Girish scored.

Given that X= Y+21

Also the sum of the runs scored by both of them = 237

that is, 237 = X+Y

Substitute X = Y+21

That is, 237 = Y+21+Y

237= 2Y+21

2Y= 237-21

Y= 216/2

Y = 108

Therefore, the runs scored by Girish = Y = 108 runs

Answer 2

Answer:

a.

108

Step-by-step explanation:

BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN THAT MUKESH SCORED  21 RUNS MORE THAN  GIRISH

:. RUNS OF GIRISH = (237-21)/2

THAT IS WHY THE RUNS OF GIRISH = (237-21)/2 = (216)/2 = 216/2 = 108

SO THE ANSWER IS 108 .
