Question 2(d)
Solve the following :
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

Let the score of Rahul be x runs and Sachin’s score is 2x.
According to the question,$x+2x=198$
$\Rightarrow 3x=198$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{198}{3}$
$\Rightarrow x=66$
Thus, Rahul’s score = 66 runs
and Sachin’s score = 2 $\times$ 66 = 132 runs.
