On July 30th, 2019 the success rate of Indian cricket team playing against Pakistan in the International events is 88%. If India will lose the next 50 events against Pakistan then the success rate of India will come down to 66%. What is the number of International events played between the two countries till 30th July? Correct Answer 150
Let the number of international events played between India and Pakistan be 100x
Success rate of India = 88% = (88/100) × 100x = 88x
Success rate of Pakistan = 12% = (12/100) × 100x = 12x
If India will lose the next 50 events against Pakistan then the success rate of India will come down to 66%.
Total events = 100x + 50
According to the question,
12x + 50 = (100x + 50) × (34/100)
12x + 50 = 34x + 17
22x = 33
x = 1.5
100x = 150
∴ 150 international events were played between India and Pakistan till 30th July 2019
