Total score 110.
3 boundaries = (3 * 4) =12.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
12 + 48 = 60.
Remaining runs (110 - 60) scored by running.
So % is 50/110 * 100 = 500/11 = option b.
3 boundaries = (3 * 4) =12.
8 sixes = 8 * 6 = 48.
12 + 48 = 60.
Remaining runs (110 - 60) scored by running.
So % is 50/110 * 100 = 500/11 = option b.

45 * (5/11)% = 45.45% then why option B and why not option A?

Why should we write 50/110 * 100?
As my knowledge to get a percentage of 50 in 110 we have to calculate as 50/100 * 110.

Total 110-((3*4)+(8*6)) = 110-60 = 50.
50 runs he got only by running between the wickets.
So percentage is (50/110)*100 = 45.5%.
Answer is 45.5%.
