First 10 overs Score = 10 overs x 3.2 Run Rate = 32 Runs.
Total targeted runs in 50 overs = 282 Runs
Required Runs to be scored in 40 overs = 250
Total 50 overs Runs(282 Runs)-First 10 overs runs Scored(32 Runs)
Required Run Rate in 40 overs = Required Runs/Remaining overs
= 250 Runs /40 overs
= 6.25

Hi friends, please think logically.

(1) Run rate of 10 ovres is 3.2 (i.e 3.2*10=32runs).

(2) Total runs are 282(i.e 282-32=250

(3) In 40 overs runs are 250.

Now, Run rate is 250/40 = 6.25 //

We need to calculate remaining average so we have to deduct score whick is already scored.

(3) Now check given answers....take 6.2runrate and 40 overs(i.e 6.25*40=250). So ans is "6.25" .

THE AVERAGE OF THREE NO.IS
X+Y+Z/3=8
THE SUM OF FIRST TWO NO. IS 11,SO
(X+Y)+Z/3=8
11+Z/3=8
BY TRANSPOSITION
11+Z=3*8
11+Z=24
Z=24-11
Z=13
Z
