Solution

The correct option is C 18
Let us consider the number of runs scored by Ram be 'a'.
So, the number of runs scored by Sam = 3 $\times$ a
= 3a
The total number of runs scored by Ram and Sam = 3a + a
= 4a

Therefore, the value of 'a' will be 6.
It means the number of runs scored by Sam = 3 $\times$ a
= 3 $\times$ 6
= 18
