Question

A batsman scored 110 runs which included 3 boundaries and 8 sixes. What percent of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?

Options

• 45%

• `45 5/11`%

• `54 6/11`%

• 55

Answer 1

`45 5/11`%

Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 110 – (3 × 4 + 8 × 6)

= 110 – (60)

= 50.

∴ Required percentage = `(50/110 xx 100)`% = `45 5/11`%
