Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- G+R+N=96
R-N=G or R=N+G
Thus 2R=96 i.e. R=48 & N+G=48
Also R>N, R>G
N,G can't be zero or 48. Thus possible combos for (N,G) to score are (47,1)(1,47)(46,2)(2,46)....so on.
Hence we can's determine the second highest scorer with the info given. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(22) No(1)
- G+R+N=96 ..................(1)
R-N=G => R=G+N
putting value of R in (1)
G+G+N+N=96
2(G+N)=96
G+N=48
G and N can not be 0
Hence we can not find the second highest scorer from given info. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
