Aptitude - Percentage - Discussion

Total runs he scored = 110.
The scored 3 boundaries and 8 sixes=> 3 * 4 + 6 * 8 = 60,
The runs scored by him running between the wickets => 110 - 60 = 50.
By unitary method,
For 110runs ---------100%
For 50 runs ----------?.

That follows as = 50 * 100/110 = result.

@All.

Thanks for giving the best explanations!

@Vansh.

8 comes because they had given 8 six so we multiply with 8.

Where the 8 come?

Wonderful solution thank you all.

Let me explain.

Total runs made by him = 110 in which he made 3 boundaries and 8 sixes
So basically a boundary means 4, therefore 3 boundaries means 3 X 4 = 12.
And 8 sixes equals to 8 X 6 = 48.

Now adding boundary and sixes made by him,
Therefore 12 + 48 = 60.

So the score 60 was not made by runs.

So let us subtract the score 60 from the total score 110.
So that 110 - 60 = 50
50 is the score which is made by running between the wickets.

The solution is not yet completed, it's about to finish

We need to get a percentage of that runs made by him.

50/110 * 100 = 45 * 5/11 will be the answer.

Hope you understand.

How do we know about 4, when it is not in the problem?

Please, how did you get the 6 since it was not in the problem?
