Question

Indian cricket team won 4 more matches than it lost with New Zealand If it won $\frac{3}{5}$ 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
$=2\left(8\right)+4=20$
