Question

Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together their runs fell two short of a century.How many runs did each one score?

Answer 1

Let the runs scored by Rahul be "x" and that by Sachin be "2x"

When they played together , their score together was two less than double century. Double century = 200 score.

Hence , they together scored two less [ 200 -2 = 198] than double century :-

x + 2x = 198

3x = 198

x = 66

Runs scored by Rahul = x = 66
Runs scored by Sachin = 2x = 132
