    C 168 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 195 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ⇒ x : y = 5:3 = 25 : 15 ⇒ y : z = 5:3 = 15 : 9 ⇒ x : y : z = 25 : 15 : 9 Since total runs scored by Rohit, Shreyas and Virat = 637 ⇒ 25a + 15a + 9a = 637 ⇒ 49a = 637 ⇒ a = 637/49 = 13 Hence, Runs scored by Shreyas = 15 × 13 = 195
