@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".

The answer given is incorrect. The correct answer is 40%.

Total runs=110.
No. of sixes= 8,
Runs by sixes=6*8=54,
No. of fours=3,
Runs scored by fours=4*3=12,
Runs between the wickets=110-(54+12)=110-66=44,
% runs scored between wickets= (44÷110)*100=40% ans.

Total run = 110.

No of sixes = 8,
Runs by 6= 8*6=48,
No of four =3,
Runs by four =4 * 3=12,
Runs between the wickets =110-60=50,
%of runs are 50 divided by 110 *100, = we will get the answer.
