Directions: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions given beside:

 

 


Five players namely Dhawan, Rohit, Virat, Rahane and Vijay scored different runs in 1st innings of test match versus Australia.
No two players scored same runs.
The runs scored by Rohit and Dhawan together is same as the runs scored by Rahane and Vijay together.
Virat scored 40 runs more than Vijay but 30 runs less than Rohit.
Total runs scored in the 1st innings by five players are 600.
The run scored by Virat and Dhawan together is twice the runs scored by Vijay.
 
Common Explanation
 
References
 
Total runs scored in the 1st innings by five players are 600.
 
The runs scored by Rohit and Dhawan together is same as the runs scored by Rahane and Vijay together.

Virat scored 40 runs more than Vijay but 30 runs less than Rohit.
 
The run scored by Virat and Dhawan together is twice the runs scored by Vijay.
 
Inferences
 
From above statements,
 
Given Statements Hints (Equations)
Total runs scored in the 1st innings by five players are 600. Dhawan + Rohit + Virat + Rahane + Vijay = 600 .......(1)
The runs scored by Rohit and Dhawan together is same as the runs scored by Rahane and Vijay together Rohit + Dhawan = Rahane + Vijay .......(2)
 
Virat scored 40 runs more than Vijay but 30 runs less than Rohit. Virat = 40 + Vijay  .......(3)
Virat = Rohit-30   .......(4)
The run scored by Virat and Dhawan together is twice the runs scored by Vijay. Virat + Dhawan = 2Vijay  .......(5)
 
By using equation (2) we get
 
Rahane = (Rohit + Dhawan) – Vijay ……………………… (6)
 
Now substitute, equation 6 in equation 1, we get
 
Dhawan + Rohit + Virat + (Rohit + Dhawan) – Vijay + Vijay = 600

2Dhawan + 2Rohit + Virat = 600 …………. (7)
 
By using equation (4 & 5) we get
 
Rohit = Virat + 30 ………………… (8)

Dhawan = 2Vijay-Virat …………………. (9)
 
Now substitute equation 8 & 9 in equation 7
 
2 [2Vijay-Virat] + 2 [Virat + 30] + Virat = 600 …………. (10)
 
4Vijay-2Virat + 2Virat + 60 + Virat = 600
 
4Vijay + Virat = 600 -60
 
4Vijay + Virat = 540 ……………………. (11)
 
By using equation (3) we get
 
Vijay = Virat - 40 ………………….. (12)
 
Now substitute equation 12 in equation 11,
 
4 [Virat - 40] + Virat = 540

4Virat – 160 + Virat = 540

5Virat = 540 + 160

5Virat = 700

Virat = 700/5
 
Virat = 140………….(13)
 
Now by using equation (3), Virat = 40 + Vijay  
 
140 = 40 + Vijay
 
Vijay = 140 – 40
 
Vijay = 100………….(14)
 
Now by using equation (4), Virat = Rohit-30    
 
140 = Rohit-30
 
Rohit = 140 + 30
 
Rohit = 170……….(15)
 
Now by using equation (5), Virat + Dhawan = 2Vijay   & equation (13 & 14)
 
140 + Dhawan = 2*100
 
Dhawan = 200-140
 
Dhawan = 60……..(16)
 
Now by using Virat = 140, Vijay = 100, Rohit = 170 & Dhawan = 60 and substitute in equation 1
 
Dhawan + Rohit + Virat + Rahane + Vijay = 600 [equation 1]
 
60 + 170 + 140 + Rahane + 100 = 600
 
Rahane = 600 – 470

Rahane = 130
 
By using all values we get the completed table,
 
Players Runs scored
Virat 140
Vijay 100
Rohit 170
Dhawan 60
Rahane 130
Total
(1st innings)
600
