Question

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

• A. $30$
• B. $32$
• C. $36$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $36$

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 $36$.
