Question

Teacher
I have took the printout of byjus imaginarium class 7
In that I have a question. In mathematics, question no 10
Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together they scored runs fell to a short of a double half century. How many runs they each one scored

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
