Question

Virat made twice as many runs as Rohit. The total of their scores is 2 less than a double century. How many runs did each of them make ?

Answer 1

Let the runs scored by Rohit = x
The, the runs scored by Virat = 2 × runs scored by Rohit = 2x
According to question, total of their scores is 2 less than a double century.
$$\begin{gathered} \therefore x+2x=200-2 \\ \Rightarrow 3x=198 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{198}{3} \\ \Rightarrow x=66 \end{gathered}$$
So, runs scored by Rohit = x = 66
Runs scored by Virat = 2x = 2 × 66 = 132
