Question

Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together their runs fell two short of a double century. How many runs did each one score?

Answer 1

Answer:66

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s consider Rahul’s runs to be x then Sachin’s will be 2x as he scored twice of Rahul .
together their runs means x + 2 x

Fell two short of a double century meaning 200-2= 198

So x+2x =198

3x = 198

X=66

That means Rahul scored 66 runs and

Sachin scored 66* 2 = 132 runs

Answer 2

See below!

Explanation:

Let Sachin's score be x and Rahul's score be y.

Condition 1:

x = 2y ------------(1)

Condition 2:

x + y = 198 -----------(2)

• Put Eq. (1) in Eq. (2).

2y + y = 198

3y = 198

• Divide both sides by 198

y = 198/3

y = 66

• Now, put y = 66 in Eq. (1).

x = 2(66)

x = 132

So,

Sachin's score = 132 runs

Rahul's score = 66 runs
