Question 4 the day: March 31, 2003

The question for the day is from the topic of Ratio and Proportion.
A, B and C play cricket. A's runs are to B's runs and B's runs are to C's as 3:2. They get altogether 342 runs. How many runs did A make?

(1) 162 (2) 108
(3) 72 (4) None of these
Correct Answer - (1)
Solution:


A:B = 3:2 = 9:6;

B:C = 3:2 = 6:4 (making B equal)

Therefore, A:B:C = 9:6:4

Therefore, the runs made by A = (9/19) X 342 = 162.
