Sachin scored twice as many ruins as Rahul. Together, their runs, fell two short of a double century. How many runs did each one score?
Given :
Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul.
Together, their runs fell two short of a double century.
To do :
We have to find their scores.
Solution :
Let the number of runs scored by Rahul be x.
This implies, the number of runs scored by Sachin $= 2x$.
Therefore,
$x+2x=200-2$
$3x=198$
$x=\frac{198}{3}$
$x=66$
The number of runs scored by Rahul is 66 and the number of runs scored by Sachin is 2(66)=132.
Therefore, their scores of Rahul and Sachin are 66 and 132 respectively.
