In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Required run rate = |  |
282 - (3.2 x 10) |  |
= | 250 | = 6.25 |
| 40 | 40 |

Using basics of cricket.
Runs in 10 overs at the rate of 3.2 = 32.
Target 282.
Remaining runs 282-32 = 250.
Remaining overs 40.
Thus run rate 250/40 = 6.25.
Runs in 10 overs at the rate of 3.2 = 32.
Target 282.
Remaining runs 282-32 = 250.
Remaining overs 40.
Thus run rate 250/40 = 6.25.

In the first 10 overs the run rate was = 3.2.
Than total run is = 32.
Where total target is - 282.
Let the remaining 40 overs run rate is = x.
32+40x = 282.
40x = 250.
x = 25/4 = 6.25 answer.
Than total run is = 32.
Where total target is - 282.
Let the remaining 40 overs run rate is = x.
32+40x = 282.
40x = 250.
x = 25/4 = 6.25 answer.

What is the actual formula for this type of questions?
Pradeep said:

Total run in 10 over=10*3.2=32
Required run in 40 over=282-32=250
Hence avg=250/40 =6.25
Required run in 40 over=282-32=250
Hence avg=250/40 =6.25

Run rate in first ten overs = 3.2
Total runs made in first ten overs = 3.2*10 = 32 runs
Remaining runs to make = 282-32 =250
Overs left = 40 overs
Average run rate = 250/40 = 6.25
So, The run rate to make 250 runs in 40 overs is 6.25 RPO(runs per over)
Total runs made in first ten overs = 3.2*10 = 32 runs
Remaining runs to make = 282-32 =250
Overs left = 40 overs
Average run rate = 250/40 = 6.25
So, The run rate to make 250 runs in 40 overs is 6.25 RPO(runs per over)

@Colbie.
Use this formula to solve the problem:
Average = sum of runs/number of tests.
Given that, average on 4 tests is 80.
Hence, Sum of runs scored = 80 x 4 = 360.
To calculate the number of runs he needs in his fifth test to raise his average to 84 is,
84 = 360 + x / 5 (use the formula given above).
x = 420 - 360 = 60 (answer).

Mr.A average on 4 test is 80. what does he need on his fifth test to raise his average to 84?
Soudri said:

10*3.2=32
So 282 - 32 = 250/40= 6.25
So 282 - 32 = 250/40= 6.25
