Question

    If x runs are second by Rohit, y runs by Shreyas and z runs by Virat, then x : y = y : z = 4 : 3. If total number of runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat is 666, the find the number of runs scored by Shreyas?

    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 = 4 : 3 = 16 : 12 => y : z = 4 : 3 = 12 : 9 => x : y : z = 16 : 12 : 9 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 666 => 16a + 12a + 9a = 666 => 37a = 666 => a = 666/37 = 18 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 18 × 12 = 216
