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.

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.

How come 3*4? I didn't get this.

How come 45? Please explain in detail.

An article is listed at Rs 65. A customer bought this article for Rs 56. 16 with two successive discounts, out of which one is 10%. The other discount of this discount scheme that was allowed by the shopkeeper is?

Can anybody give the answer?

@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".

How come 4 here?

Please explain.

3 boundaries 3*4.

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

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.

How come 4 here? Please explain me clearly.
