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) |
Now substitute, equation 6 in equation 1, we get
2Dhawan + 2Rohit + Virat = 600 …………. (7)
By using equation (4 & 5) we get
Dhawan = 2Vijay-Virat …………………. (9)
Now substitute equation 8 & 9 in equation 7
4Vijay-
4Vijay + Virat = 600 -60
4Vijay + Virat = 540 ……………………. (11)
Now substitute equation 12 in equation 11,
4Virat – 160 + Virat = 540
5Virat = 540 + 160
5Virat = 700
Virat = 700/5
Virat = 140………….(13)
Vijay = 140 – 40
Vijay = 100………….(14)
Rohit = 140 + 30
Rohit = 170……….(15)
Now by using equation (5), Virat + Dhawan = 2Vijay & equation (13 & 14)
Dhawan = 200-140
Dhawan = 60……..(16)
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) |
