Answer» Correct option is A) 132 Correct option is (A) 132 Let runs scored by Sehwag be x. \(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin is 2x. \(\therefore\) According to given condition (2x+x) + 2 = 200 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 200 - 2 = 198 \(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{198}3=66\) \(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin = 2x \(=2\times66\) = 132.

Answer»

Correct option is A) 132

Correct option is (A) 132

Let runs scored by Sehwag be x.

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin is 2x.

\(\therefore\) According to given condition

(2x+x) + 2 = 200

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 200 - 2 = 198

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{198}3=66\)

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin = 2x \(=2\times66\) = 132.
