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

The correct option is A

$196,98$

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

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