    D 63:70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the runs scored by Rahul and Pant be ‘9x’ and ‘8x’, respectively. So, 9x + 8x = 1/3 × 600 17x = 200, x = 11.76 Runs scored by Rahul = 9x = 105.88 ≈ 106 Required ratio = 106: 600 = 53:300
