45 5 %

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

How 5 came in the last equation .i,e; 45*5/11?

Prem said:   1 decade ago
3*4=12,
8*6= 48,
48+12=60.

Total run b/w the wickets 110 - 60 = 50.

Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545.

Total batsman score = 110.

Include 3*four and 8*sixes.

=12+48.

Include of six and four = 60.

Total score-sixes and fours = 110-60 = 50.

Percentage = Remaining without six and fours/total score**100.

= 110/50*100.

= 11/5*100.

= 1100/5.

= 45*5/11.

Please anybody tel me the answer with explanation for ratio in wheat question?

45 comes because:

50/110 X 100 = 5000/110 = 500/11.

Now divide the 500 with 11 and the answer is 45 5/11.

Is it just me or is this question impossible for those who have no knowledge on cricket terminology? i.e., 1 boundary means a score of 4?
