Explanation: Option C Let matches won by Australia be x Let matches played by Srilanka be y 7(100 +x) = 6(162+y) 700 + 7x = 972 + 6y 7x – 6y = 972 – 700 7x – 6y = 272 -----------------(1) Let the matches played by Australia be z Matches lost by Srilanka = 2*44=88 z+150= 3(135) z = 405 – 150 = 255 (matches played by Australia) Matches won by Australia (x) = z – (43 + 12) = 255-(43+12) =200 Sub x= 200 in eqn. (1) 7(200) – 6y = 272 1400 -6y = 272 6y= 1128 Y = 188 (matches played by Srilanka) Therefore, matches draw by Srilanka= 188- (80 +88) =20 (ans)
