Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there were five rummers in the team;
Each runner finished one after the other
Total. Points scored =. 55
Let the positions of each runner be :
1sr runner = p
2nd runner =.p + 1
3rd runner =.p + 2
4th runner =.p + 3
5th runner =.p + 4
(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55
(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55
5p + 10 = 55
5p = 55 - 10
5p = 45
p = 9
Hence,
1st runner = 9th
2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th
3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th
4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th
5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th
