Three batsmen Anjana, Yamini and Gargi made a total of 99 runs in a cricket match. Anjana made runs equal to one third of the runs made by Gargi. Gargi made just double the number of runs made by Yamini. How many runs did Anjana make in that match? Correct Answer 18

According to statement, Anjana, Yamini and Gargi made 99 runs in a cricket match.

Gargi made double runs from Yamini. We let Yamini score is X and Gargi score 2X

Yamini – x runs

Gargi – 2x runs

Anjana made runs equal to one third runs made by Gargi means Anjana score = 2x/3 runs.

Now the equation is,

x + 2x + 2x/3 = 99

11x = 297

x = 27

Yamini score = 27,

Gargi score = 2 × 27 = 54,

Anjana score = 54/3 = 18 runs.

Hence, the correct answer is 18.
