Let the total score be x.
then first highest will be = 2/9x. ----- (1)
Remainder will be = x - 2/9 x
= 7x/9.
Next highest score will be = 2/9 * 7x/9
= 14x/81. ------ (2).
Subtracting the two equations with scores differed, we get
2/9x - 14x/81 = 8
18x - 14x/81 = 8
4x/81 = 8/4
x = 8 * 81/4
= 162.
Total score in the innings = 162.
