Runs scored by Sachin in a charity match are 10 more than the balls faced by Lara. The number of balls faced by Sachin is 5 less than the runs scored by Lara. Together, they have scored 105 runs and Sachin faced 10 balls less than the balls faced by Lara. How many runs were scored by Sachin?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Let BLB_L = Balls faced by Lara

RSR_S = Runs scored by Sachin =BL+10= B_L + 10

BSB_S = Balls faced by Sachin =BL−10= B_L - 10

RLR_L = Runs scored by Lara

Since Sachin's balls faced = Lara's runs −5- 5:

BS=RL−5B_S = R_L - 5

BL−10=RL−5B_L - 10 = R_L - 5

RL=BL−5R_L = B_L - 5


Total runs scored together =105= 105:

RS+RL=105R_S + R_L = 105

(BL+10)+(BL−5)=105(B_L + 10) + (B_L - 5) = 105

2BL+5=1052B_L + 5 = 105

2BL=1002B_L = 100

BL=50B_L = 50


Runs scored by Sachin =BL+10= B_L + 10

=50+10= 50 + 10

=60= 60
