Correct Answer: 162,108, and 72
Solution :
Given: $x$ runs are scored by A, $y$ runs by B, and $z$ runs by C then, $x:y=y:z=3:2$. The total number of runs scored by A, B, and C is 342.
$x:y=3:2=9:6$ and $y:z=3:2=6:4$
So, $x:y:z=9:6:4$
According to the given information,
$9a+6a+4a=342$
⇒ $19a=342$
⇒ $a=18$
$\therefore$ Runs scored by A = 18 × 9 = 162
Runs scored by B = 18 × 6 = 108
Runs scored by C = 18 × 4 = 72
Hence, the correct answer is 162, 108, and 72.
