Answer 1

✬ Sachin = 132 runs ✬

✬ Rahul = 66 runs ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul.
• Together their runs fell two short of a double century.

To Find:

• How many runs did each one score?

Solution: Let Rahul's score be x runs . Therefore,

➟ Sachin scored = Twice the score of Rahul

➟ Sachin's score = 2x

• Double century = 200

According to the question:-

$\implies$ (Sachin run + Rahul run ) = 200 – 2

$\implies{\rm }$ (2x + x ) = 200 – 2

$\implies{\rm }$ 3x = 198

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 198/3

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 66

Hence,

➨ Rahul's score = x = 66 runs.

➨ Sachin's score = 2x = 2(66) = 132 runs.
