Answer
View full question & answer→Let the runs made by Rohit be $x$.
$\therefore$ Runs made by Virat $=2 x$
According to the given condition,
$
\begin{aligned}
& x+2 x=200-2 \\
& \therefore 3 x=198 \\
& \therefore x=\frac{198}{3}=66
\end{aligned}
$
$\therefore$ Runs made by Virat $=2 x=2 \times 66=132$
$\therefore$ The runs made by Virat and Rohit are 132 and 66 respectively.
