Correct option is (A) 132

Let runs scored by Sehwag be x.

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin is 2x.

\(\therefore\) According to given condition

(2x+x) + 2 = 200

\(\Rightarrow\) 3x = 200 - 2 = 198

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x=\frac{198}3=66\)

\(\therefore\) Runs scored by Sachin = 2x \(=2\times66\) = 132.
