Total runs scored = (36 x 5) = 180.
Let the runs scored by E be x.
Then, runs scored by D = x + 5; runs scored by A = x + 8;
runs scored by B = x + x + 5 = 2x + 5;
runs scored by C = (107 - B) = 107 - (2x + 5) = 102 - 2x.
So, total runs = (x + 8) + (2x + 5) + (102 - 2x) + (x + 5) + x = 3x + 120.
Therefore 3x + 120 =180 ⇔ 3X = 60 ⇔ x = 20.
