Can anyone please give the solution of this.

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th innings.

In the first 10 overs, we got a total runs is 10 * 3.2 = 32
And after 40 runs they give a total of runs 282.
So, we find the remaining 282-32/40 = 6.25 is the answer.

The first 10 overs run rate is 3.2 which means score will be taken 32 runs per 10 overs.

Target is 282 then 282-32=250 remaining 40 overs runs.

Finally 250/40=6.25.

Muhundan you are really very helpful.

How should I solve this.

The average of three numbers is 8, that of the first two is 11. Find the third number?plz help me.

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.

@Kavita : Run rate * overs = runs scored.

So now Run rate = Runs scored/required / overs.

There 282 - (3.2 x 10) = Runs required

Remaining overs are 40.

First we calculate 10 overs score using run rate (3.2).

= 10*3.2 = 32 runs.

Target = 282.

We need 250 runs in 40 overs (282-32).

So, 250/40 = 6.25.

Run = (no of runs took in one over)/(total possible no of runs),

So, instead of 3.2 = x/10, it should be 3.2 = x/(10 * 6),

Since, 1 over has 6 runs?

A batsman makes a score of 87runs in the 17th inning & thus increases his avg by 3. Find his avg after 17th inning? Can anyone solve this problem?

Karthi said:   10 months ago
First 10 - run rate 3.2
3.2 = sum of runs/10
Sum = 3.2×10 = 32
40 over total runs 282.
So, 282 - 32 = 250 remaining runs.
Run rate = 250/40 = 6.25.
