In 10 overs run scored is 250, and in remaining 40 overs to get the total target of 282, remaining runs are 250 as 32 has been scored. Divide 250 by 40 that will be the required run-rate.

10*3.2 = 32.
40*? = ?
Required = 282.
40*? = ?
Required = 282.

Is there any short cut for this?
If we solve this way like long method, rest of the questions will be pending. Any one suggest me?

First 10 overs they scored 32 runs====3.2*10.
Then we required to score 250 runs to get the score of 282 in 40 overs=======(28232 = 250 in 40 overs).
Therefore: 250/40 = 6.25.
Then we required to score 250 runs to get the score of 282 in 40 overs=======(28232 = 250 in 40 overs).
Therefore: 250/40 = 6.25.

Required run-rate = (282-(3.2*10))/40 = 6.25.

(282-(3.2*10))/40 = 6.25.

We Know Run Rate = Runs/overs.
Therefore, in the first 10 overs.
Run Rate = Runs/Overs.
3.2 = Runs/10.
Runs = 3.2*10.
Runs = 32.
Now 32 runs is scored in the first 10 Overs.
Target = 282.
Target = 282-32 = 250.
Run Rate = Target runs/Remaining Overs.
Run Rate = 250/40.
Run Rate = 6.25.
Therefore, in the first 10 overs.
Run Rate = Runs/Overs.
3.2 = Runs/10.
Runs = 3.2*10.
Runs = 32.
Now 32 runs is scored in the first 10 Overs.
Target = 282.
Target = 282-32 = 250.
Run Rate = Target runs/Remaining Overs.
Run Rate = 250/40.
Run Rate = 6.25.

@Apple.
You give example test match in that problem 80*4 = 320 but you tack it as 360?

RR runs Target-282.
1-10 overs 3.2 32.
11-40 overs ? 250.
RR = Runs/Overs.
RR = 250/40.
Answer: 6.25.
1-10 overs 3.2 32.
11-40 overs ? 250.
RR = Runs/Overs.
RR = 250/40.
Answer: 6.25.

@Ms. Shobhita.
1 over for 6 balls should be getting 1run for every ball is 6 runs for 6 balls. 1 over 6run rate. 10 overs 32 runs. Run rate was 3.25.
32 runs subtracted for target run 282. Remain 250. Balance 40 overs. Every ball get one run reach in 240. Answer is 6.25.
