Question

Tony scored twice as many runs as Kohli. Together they scored $6$ runs short of triple century. How many runs did each score?

• A. 196, 98
• B. 96, 192
• C. 19, 38
• D. 250, 125

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

196, 98

C

19, 38

Runs scored by Kohli be $x$. Then, runs scored by Tony will be $2x$.

$2x+x=300-6=294$
$3x=294$
$x=\frac{294}{3}=98$
$\text{So, Kohli scores 98 and Tony scores 196 runs.}$
