Question

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

Answer 1

Hey !

Let the runs scored by Rahul be "x" and that by Sachin be "2x"

When they played together , their score together was two less than double century. Double century = 200 score.

Hence , they together scored two less [ 200 -2  = 198] than double century :-

x + 2x = 198

3x = 198

x = 66

===========================

Runs scored by Rahul = x = 66 
Runs scored by Sachin = 2x = 132

===================================

Good Day !

Answer 2

Rahul scored "x"

Shacin scored "2x"

Together there runs = fall 2 shoort of 200

= 200 - 2

= 198

x + 2x = 198

3x = 198

x = 198/3

= 66

Rahul scored = 66

Shachin scored = 132
