@Mike.

avg = sum of observations/number of observatios.
Avg expenditure = 100.
Number of months = 3.
So, sum = 100 * 3 = 300.

Similarly for rest of the months 8800 and 23100 respectively.
Total income = expenditures + savings.
So, 300 + 8800 + 23100 + 2100 = 34300.
Avg income = total income/12(months).
Avg = 34300/12 = 2858.

O A R
10 3.2 32
40 x 250 (282-32).

x = 250/40 = 6.25.

Over * run rate = run => 10 * 3.2 = 32 runs.

Target = 282, our score is 32 runs so required run => 282 - 32 = 250.

Over * run rate = runs.
So run rate = 250/40 = 6.25.

x = req run rate.
(10 * 3.2) + (40 * x) = 282,
32 + 40x = 282,
40x = 250,
x = 6.25.

In the first 15 overs of a one-day cricket match, the run rate was only 6.2 to reach the target of 303 runs in the remaining 35 overs, the run rate should be?

Please solve it.

@Pranav.

Batsman scored 87 runs in his 17th innings as we all know that average is nothing but equal distribution.

So we can say that his increased average should be shared to every innings so 17*3=51 now we can clearly say that if he wants to increase his average he has to score more runs than the previous innings. so answer 87-17 * 3=> 87 - 51 = 36.

@Chahat.

First, 15 overs team scored 120 runs at rate 6.2 and 183 runs need to be scored to reach 303 in 35 overs so req rate is 183/35 = 5.22.
