Question

the sum of the scores of Virat and Rahul is 300 if the Virat score 40 runs less than Rahul find the individual score

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the score of Rahul be x.

The score of Virat is 40 less hence :

Virat = x - 40

Now :

x + x - 40 = 300

2x - 40 = 300

2x = 300 + 40

2x = 340

x = 340/2

x = 170

Rahul = 170

Virat = 170 + 40 = 210

Answer 2

Answer:

Rahul score 170 runs
Virat score 130 runs

Solution:

Let the score of Rahul are x runs

and score of Virat are y runs

According to the question,

sum of scores of both is 300

So

$x + y = 300 \: \: \: \: eq1$
and Virat score 40 runs less than Rahul

$y + 40 = x \\ \\ x - y = 40 \: \: \: eq2$
Add both eq1 and 2

$2x = 340 \\ \\ x = 170 \\ \\ y = 170 - 40 \\ \\ y = 130$

Verification:

170+130=300
170-130=40

Hope it helps you.
