Total score : 110.
Three boundaries, that is 3 * 4 =12.
8 six , that is 8 * 6 = 48,
The score He runs between the wickets means.
reduce the above-mentioned values like boundaries and sixes from the total score, that is
110 - 12+48 = 50.
Percentage of 50 runs equal to
50/110 * 100%.
5000/110.
= 45.45.
.45 into fractional form.
Follow the following steps.
.45 to 45.
Then 45/100 here we taking 45/100 since there is two decimal points here
45/100 = 9/11.
50/110 * 100 =45 * 9/11.
The approximate answer from options is 45(5/11).

Total runs : 110
boundaries :3 ie 3 * 4=12.---> 12 +48
six : 8 ie 8*6 =48 ---->=60.
= total run -addition of 4 and 6
= 110 -60 ie = 50
= 50/100 *100. ie 5000/110.
ie. 500/11(put in division method),
then 11 is divisor 5 is remainder 45 is the quotient,
45 * 5/11.

Total runs =110.
Boundaries means (4)=>so,
Qus:3 boundaries =3*4=12.
Sixes(6)=>so,
Qus:8 sixes = 8*6=48.
So, boundary + sixes = 12 + 48 = 60.
The, 60 runs is only boundaries and sixes.
But, the question was running b/w the wickets (only scores the runs in running ).
So, total - (boundaries &sixes) = running runs.
So, 110(total) - 60(boundaries &sixes) = 50(running runs).
Here, it is asked percentage :
So, running runs/total *100 = ans.
So, 50/110*100 = 500/11,
And the answer is 45*5/11.
Boundaries means (4)=>so,
Qus:3 boundaries =3*4=12.
Sixes(6)=>so,
Qus:8 sixes = 8*6=48.
So, boundary + sixes = 12 + 48 = 60.
The, 60 runs is only boundaries and sixes.

So, 50/110*100 = 500/11,
And the answer is 45*5/11.
