Question

Sachine scored thrice as many runs as Rahul. Together their runs fell for short of a triple century how many runs did each score?

Answer 1

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

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

Answer 2

CORRECT QUESTION :-

• Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together, their runs fell ninety runs short of a triple century. What is Sachin's score ?

GIVEN :-

• runs of sachin is twice runs of rahul

• if we add both runs than it's 90 less than 300

TO FIND :-

• runs that Sachin scored

SOLUTION :-

$\rm{let \: runs \: of \: rahul \: be \: x}$

$\rm{so\: runs \: of \: sachin \: will \: be \: 2x}$

$\rm{ \bf \: now \: according \: to \: condition \: }$

$\implies \rm{x + 2x = 300 - 90}$

$\implies \rm{3x= 300 - 90}$

$\implies \rm{3x= 210}$

$\implies \rm{x= \dfrac{210}{3} }$

$\implies \boxed{\rm{ \: x= 70}}$

hence ,

$\implies \rm{runs \: of \: rahul=x}$

$\implies \rm{ \bf \: runs \: of \: rahul=70}$

$\implies \rm{runs \: of \: sachin=2x}$

$\implies \rm{ \bf \: runs \: of \: sachin=140}$
