45%
45 5 %

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

(3*4)+(8*6)=60,
110-60=50,
50/110*100.

Hi,

3 * 4 + 8 * 6 = 60 runs.

110 runs - 60 = 50 => 50/110 (110 from total runs). 110 = 50
100 = X so 110 times 5/110 = 45 5/11.

50/110*100.
So ans will be like 500/11,
500 is not divisible by 11.
So we write a mixed fraction,
That means 45 *11=495 remaining 5 will be there.

3 boundaries = 3*4=12,
8 sixes = 8*6=48,
=> 48+12=60 (runs scored with the help of boundaries),
runs scored by running b/w wickets = 110-60=50,
%runs scored by running = (50/110)*100.

3 boundaries 3*4.

8sixes 8*6.
48+12=60.
110-60=50.
Run scored by running=50/110*100.

@Nandu.

A boundary is the scoring of four or six runs from a single delivery with the ball reaching or crossing the boundary of the playing field. Occasionally there is an use of the term boundary as a synonym for a "four". For example, sometimes commentators say such as "There were seven boundaries and three sixes in the innings. " The correct terminology would be "There were ten boundaries in the innings of which seven were fours and three were sixes".
