A 216 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 204 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 224 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

⇒ x : y = 7:4 = 49 : 28 ⇒ y : z = 7 : 4 = 28 : 16 ⇒ x : y : z = 49 : 28 : 16 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 744 ⇒ 49a + 28a + 16a = 744 ⇒ 93a = 744 ⇒ a = 744/93 = 8 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 28 × 8 = 224
