    A 120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 168 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 195 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ⇒ x : y = 3:2 = 9 : 6 ⇒ y : z = 3 : 2 = 6 : 4 ⇒ x : y : z = 9 : 6 : 4 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 304 ⇒ 9a + 6a + 4a = 304 ⇒ 19a = 304 ⇒ a = 304/19 = 16 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 6 × 16 = 96
