Question

In a cricket match, Rajat scored thrice as many runs as Devansh.
Together they fell short of 8 runs of a triple century. Find their scores.

Answer 1

Answer:

let jivesh score x runs so rajat scores 3x runs

total runs = 300-8 = 292 runs

so x+3x = 292

4x = 292

x = 292/4

x = 73

so jivesh score 72 runs and rajat scores 216 runs

Answer 2

Answer:

73 for Devanesh. 219 for Rajat

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triple century is 300 then 300-8 = 292 runs that they made. They made a total of 3t+t=292. Means 4t=292. Means t=73. So 73 is the runs for Devanesh.219 for Rajat.
