    A 216 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 204 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ⇒ x : y = 6:5 = 36 : 30 ⇒ y : z = 6 : 5 = 30 : 25 ⇒ x : y : z = 36 : 30 : 25 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 637 ⇒ 36a + 30a + 25a = 637 ⇒ 91a = 637 ⇒ a = 637/91 = 7 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 30 × 7 = 210
