Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the runs scored by rahul be x and by sachin be 2x.

Together, their run fell two shorts of a double century= 200-2=198

x+2x=198

3x=198

x=198/3

x=66

Rahul's score = x= 66

Sachin's score=2x=2×66= 132
