Question

Dhoni scored twice as many runs as Sehwag. Together they scored two runs less than double century. How many runs did each of them score?

Answer 1

Let the number of runs scored by Sehwag be $x$

Therefore, the number of runs scored by Dhoni is $2x$

Given that together they scored two runs less than double century.

Therefore, $x+2x=200-2$

$⟹3x=198$

$⟹x=66$

Therefore, the number of runs scored by Sehwag is $66$

and the number of runs scored by Dhoni is $2\times 66=132$
