Question

Indian cricket team won $2$ more matches than it lost with New Zealand. If it won $\frac{3}{6}$ of its matches, how many matches did India play?

• A. $8$
• B. $12$
• C. $16$
• D. $20$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $20$

Let the number of matches lost $=x$
Number of matches won $=x+4$
Total matches played $=x+x+4$
$=2x+4$
We have,
$x+4=\frac{3}{5}(2x+4)$
$5x+20=6x+12$
$x=8$.
$\therefore$ total matches played $=2x+4$
$=2\left(8\right)+4=20$.
