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 |

How to solve given problem:.
Rajana traveled a journey of 500km with speed of 50km/hr for 5 liter and traveled withe speed of 60km/hr for 5hr and then is last 5hr covers a distance of 700km and after taking rest of 3 hr again traveled. For 2 hr by covering a distance 120km find average of speed.

Why you write 283- (3. 2*10)?

First we have to find no of runs scored in first 10 overs, to calculate runs scored in 10 overs we have to do 3.2*10 (means runsscored=runrate*no of overs).we get 32runs which means they have scored 32 runs in first 10 overs. so 283-32=250 runs should be scored in next 40 overs.to find the runrate, runrate=250/40 (we have to divide no of required runs by no of overs left)

First we calculate the total runs done in 10 overs by using run rate ie 10*3.2 (runs per over) = 32.
Remaining runs is 283-32 = 250.
The run rate required to achieve the target is 250 (required runs to do) /40 (remaining overs).
Remaining runs is 283-32 = 250.
The run rate required to achieve the target is 250 (required runs to do) /40 (remaining overs).

Why we are using this formula?
Vinoth M said:

Formula is, average=sum of runs in each overs(s)/number of overs(n)
given n=10,average=3.2
Then,substitute values in formula,
->3.2=s/10
->s=32
in 10 overs total run is 32
target=282
Then in 40 overs thy need 250 runs
here n=40,s=250
percentage=s/n=250/40=6.25
So ans=6.25
given n=10,average=3.2
Then,substitute values in formula,
->3.2=s/10
->s=32
in 10 overs total run is 32
target=282
Then in 40 overs thy need 250 runs
here n=40,s=250
percentage=s/n=250/40=6.25
So ans=6.25

@kalaivani,
We want to calculate how many runs needed for remaining 40 overs to find the run rate for remaining overs.
283 is total score req for 40 overs,10*3.2=32 runs scored in the first over
