Question

A cricketer has a mean score of 48 runs in 5 innings. The run scored by him in 6th inning to raise his mean score to 50, will be:

विकल्प

• 42

• 50

• 56

• 60

Answer 1

60

Explanation:

Mean = `"Total runs"/"Number of innings"` 

With mean 48 in 5 innings total = 48 × 5 = 240.

To have mean 50 over 6 innings total must be 50 × 6 = 300.

Runs in 6th inning = 300 – 240 = 60.
