Obtain a pair of linear equations in two variables from the following information:

In a cricket match, Sachin Tendulkar makes his score thrice the Sehwag's score. Both of them together make a total score of 200 runs.

Let the score of Sachin and Sehwag be x and y respectively

given, Both of them together make a total score of 200 runs.


⇒ x + y = 200 …[1]


also, Sachin Tendulkar makes his score thrice the Sehwag's score


⇒ x = 3y …[2]


These are the two required equations.
