45%
45 5 %
11
54 6 %
11
55%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)

= 110 - (60)

= 50.

Required percentage = 50 x 100 % = 45 5 %
110 11

@Kiraa.

Hey, it is not 50/100, it's 50/110.
Because 110 is the total.

Hay guys. I have a confusion that how the (50/100) *100=45*5/11 ? Will you please explain to me.

Total runs = 110.
Total runs from boundaries and sixes = 8 * 6 + 3 * 4 = 60,
Runs made by running between the wickets = 110-60 = 50,
Percentage of run made by running between the wickets = (50/110 * 100)% = 45.45%.
Correct Answer : (C)

See follow like this:

Given that;

Total runs = 110,
Total six = 8 * 6 = 48,
Boundaries = 4 * 3 = 12,
110-48 + 12 = 50.
Now find
110= 100%.
50=?
50/110 * 100 = 45 5/11.

why here we can't use the rule:x% of y= y% of x?

Anyone, please explain to me.

Actually, it converts from 500/11 to 45*(5/11) to a mixed fraction by quotient* remainder/divisor.

For eg: By dividing 500/11 we get quotient =45, remainder=5 divisor =11.
Then we form 45* (5\11).
