    Explanation

    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.
