    In a cricket match, five batsmen A, B, C, D and E scored an average of 36 runs. D scored 5 more then E, E scored 8 fewer than A, B scored as many as D and E combined, and B and C scored 107 between them. 'How many runs did E score?

    A)  62                               

    B)  45    

    C)  28                               

    D)  20

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Total runs scored \[(36\times 5)=180\] Let the runs scored by E be x. Then, Runs scored by \[D=x+5\], runs scored by             \[A=x+8\] Runs scored by \[B=x+x+5=2x+5,\] Runs scored by \[C=(107-B)=107-(2x+5)=102-2x\] So, total runs \[=(x+8)+(2x+5)+(102-2x)+\] \[(x+5)+x=3x+120\] \[\therefore \] \[3x+120=180\] \[\Leftrightarrow \] \[3x=60\] \[\Leftrightarrow \] \[x=20\]
