Read Solution (Total 1)
-
- total runs scored 232
byes(x)+wides(y)+runs(z)=232
runs scored is 26 times of wides z=26y
byes is 8 more than wides x=y+8
total x+y+z=232
(y+8)+y+(26y)=232
28y+8=232
28y=224
wides y=8;
byes x=y+8=16
total runs scored by ram and shyam z=26y=208
ratio is 208/13=16
ram x=6*16=96
shyam=7*16=112
