A cricket team won 40% of the total number of matches it played during a year. If it lost 50% of the matches played and 20 matches were drawn, the total number of matches played by the team during the year was :

a. 200
b. 100
c. 50
d. 40

• consider team played total x matches then,
  40% of x+50% of x+20=x
  90 5 of x+20=x
  20=x-9x/10
  20=x/10
  x=200
  so total matches played by team is 200

• 10/100 * x = 20
  x=200

• 10-------20
  100-------X
  →x=200

• From option a) it is possible with this numbers
  200/100 *50 = 100 (100 matches were lost)
  200/100 *40 = 80 ( 80 matches were won)
  20 matches were draw
  Total matches = 100+80+20 = 200 matches
