Question

The ratio of runs scored by Naveen and Praveen is 4:5 and the ratio of runs scored by Praveen and Sachin is 3:4. If the sum of runs scored by the given three batsmen is 329, find the runs scored by Praveen.

• A. 140
• B. 84
• C. 105
• D. 75

Answer 1

The correct option is C 105

Given, N:P = 4:5 and P:S = 3:4, then

N:P:S = 12:15:20

The runs scored by Praveen $=P=\frac{15}{47}\times 329=105$

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
