a) 171
b) 181
c) 185
d) 161

Answer: a
Explanation: Given total runs of A, B, C
(A + B + C = 361)
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow {\text{A}}:{\text{B}}:{\text{C}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,3:2 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,3:2 \cr & \underline {\overline {\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,9:6:4{\text{ }}} } \cr & 9x + 6x + 4x = 361 \cr & \Rightarrow 19x = 361 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 19 \cr & {\text{Runs scored by A }} = 9x \cr & = 9 \times 19 \cr & = 171 \cr} $$
