Question

The runs of Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid and Dhoni are in proportion. Find Sehwag's runs if runs scored by Sachin, Dravid and Dhoni are $24,28,42$ respectively.

Answer 1

Let runs scored by Sehwag be $x$.
As per given condition,
Runs of Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid and Dhoni are in proportion,

$24:x::28:42$

$\frac{24}{x}=\frac{28}{42}$

$\frac{24}{x}=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=\frac{24\times 3}{2}=\frac{72}{2}=36$

Runs scored by Sehwag is $36$.
