Question

The sum of runs of team India and team Sri Lanka is 501. India won the match by minimum winning run. Find the runs scored by India and Sri Lanka.​

Answer 1

Answer:

INDIA = 251

SRI LANKA = 250

Step-by-step explanation:

SUM OF RUNS = 501

MINIMUM WINNING MARGIN = 1

SO, LET SRI LANKA'S RUNS BE 'x'

THUS, INDIA'S RUNS WILL BECOME 'x + 1'

SUM = x + x + 1

SO, x + x + 1 = 501

x + x = 501 - 1

2x = 500

x = $\frac{500}{2}$

SO, x = 250

SRI LANKA'S RUNS = x = 250

INDIA'S RUNS = x + 1

= 250 + 1

= 251
