The highest score in an inning was 3/11 of the total and the next highest was 3/11 of the reminder . If the score differ by 9, the total score was :

A) 110	B) 121
C) 132	D) 143

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 121

Let the score be x. Then the highest score = 3x/11.

Reminder = (x - 3x/11) = 8x/11 .Next the highest score = 3/11 of 8x/11 = 24x/121.

3x/11 - 24x/11 = 9 <=> 33x - 24x = 9*121 <=> x= 121..
