A batsman scored 110 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Number of runs made by running = 110 - (3 x 4 + 8 x 6)
= 110 - (60)
= 50.
 Required percentage = |

In order to find the percentage of runs scored by running the wickets.
see the total runs scored by the batsman is 110.
runs scored by fours and sixes is 4*3+6*8=60
then runs scored by running b/w wickets = 50(total runs(110) - runs scored by fours and sixes(60))
for 110 runs if he scored 50 runs by running b/w wickets
then for 100 how much
this can written in the ratio form as 110:100::50:X
then x=(100*50)/110
solving we get the answer as 500/11
converting in mixed fraction we 45*5/11.
i hope u understood.. have a nice day.

Why we need to divide 50/110?

Runs=110;
fours=4*3=12;,sixes=8*6=48;
total=48+12=60;
110-60=50;
100=110
?=50;
45.51..
fours=4*3=12;,sixes=8*6=48;
total=48+12=60;
110-60=50;
100=110
?=50;
45.51..

When we divide 500 by 11 then we get 45 as answer and 5 as remainder so B is the answer.

Just 50/100 is not correct?

As 2*1/2 =5/2
Similarly 500/11=45* 5/11 that is
( (45*11)+5)/11
Similarly 500/11=45* 5/11 that is
( (45*11)+5)/11

@seshadri,
remember one thing
any fraction can be written in the following format
quotient *(remainder/divisor)
we get fraction as
500/11
just convert it into above format
thats it
