Question

In a circket match,Sachin makes his score thrice the Sehwags's score. Both of them together make a total score of $200$ runs.

Answer 1

Let the runs scored by Sehwag be $=x.$

The runs scored by Sachin $y=3x.$

Linear equation

$x+y=200$

$\Rightarrow x+3x=200$

$\Rightarrow 4x=200$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{200}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=50$

scored by Sehwag $=50$

scored by sachin $=3x=3\times 50=150$
