    A 216 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 204 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 224 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ⇒ x : y = 3 : 2 = 9 : 6 ⇒ y : z = 3 : 2 = 6 : 4 ⇒ x : y : z = 9 : 6 : 4 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 646 ⇒ 9a + 6a + 4a = 646 ⇒ 19a = 646 ⇒ a = 646/19 = 34 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 34 × 6 = 204
