Just apply yours common sense if get marks in percentages ie (acquired marks/total marks) right, then you will get result.

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.

3*4=12,
8*6= 48,
48+12=60.
Total run b/w the wickets 110 - 60 = 50.
Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545.
8*6= 48,
48+12=60.
Total run b/w the wickets 110 - 60 = 50.
Therefore %= 50/110* 100 = 45.454545.

@Jay. Answer to wheat problem.
Let x kg of 4.5 and y kg of 5.25 Rs variety.
So,
4.5x+5.25y = 5(x+y).
on solving we get,
0.25y = 0.5x.
(x/y) = 25/50.
x:y = 1:2.

Total runs = 110.
Covered by = 60.
110-60 = 50.
So 50/1100*100.
45*5/11.
Covered by = 60.
110-60 = 50.
So 50/1100*100.
45*5/11.

500/11
Hence we can write 500/11 = 45*5/11.
45
-----
11 ! 500
! 44
!----
60
55
-----
5
Hence we can write 500/11 = 45*5/11.

Total runs = 110.
Runs got by boundary & sixes = 60//[4x3 + 8x6].
Runs got by wickets = 110-60 = 50.
They are asking what percentage 60 is what % of 110.
So, x% of 110 = 60.
x*110/100 = 60.
x = option B.
