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

Then, the runs scored by Virat = 2 × runs scored by Rohit = 2x

According to the question, the total of their scores is 2 less than a double century.

∴ x + 2x = 200 − 2

⇒ 3x = 198

⇒ x = `198/3`

⇒ x = 66

So, runs scored by Rohit = x = 66

Runs scored by Virat = 2x

= 2 × 66

= 132
