Correct Option: C
Let the number of matches played between India and Pakistan in the first case be x.
Number of wins by Pakistan
| = | = | |||
| 100 | 5 |
According to the question,
| = | = | |||
| x + 30 | 100 |
| ⇒ | = | |||
| 5(x + 30) | 10 |
| ⇒ | = | |||
| (x + 30) | 2 |
⇒ 2x = x + 30
⇒ x = 30
∴ Total number of matches
= 30 + 30 = 60
