Question 129

Three students A, B and C play cricket. The runs scored by A and B respectively are in the ratio 3 : 2. B’s runs to C’s runs are also in the same ratio. Together they score 342 runs. Then the runs scored by B are

Solution

It is given that A : B = 3 : 2

and B : C = 3 : 2

=> A : B : C = 9 : 6 : 4

Total runs scored = 342

$$\therefore$$ Runs scored by B = $$\frac{6}{9+6+4} * 342$$

= 108
