In the Cricket match, Dhoni and Dravid scored $185$ runs .If their score was in the ratio $18:19$ , how many runs did each of them score ?

Answer 1

Given

Dhoni and Dravid scored $=185runs$

Their score Ratio $=18:19$

Let. Dhoni scored be $=18x$

Dravid scored be $=19x$

So,

$$\begin{gathered} 18x+19x=185 \\ 37x=185 \\ x=\frac{185}{37} \\ \therefore x=5 \end{gathered}$$

Dhoni scored be $=18\times 5=90Runs$

Dravid scored be $=19\times 5=95Runs$

Hence the scores of Dhoni and Dravid are $90and95runs.$
