On a certain date, Pakistan has a success rate of 60% against India in all the ODIs played between the two countries. |
Suppose Pakistan played X ODIs. So, Number of ODIs won by Pakistan = 0.6X |

After 30 more ODIs, success rate was 30%. |
So, (X + 30) × 0.3 = 0.6X ⇒ 0.3X = 9 ⇒ X = 30 Hence, Total ODIs played = 30 + 30 = 60 |
