Question:

The average of the runs scored by 8 players in an innings is 55. If the runs scored by 7 of these players in that innings are 25, 35, 45, 60, 65, 60 and 80, then how many runs are scored by the 8th player in that innings?

Options:

65

80

75

70

Correct Answer:

70

Runs in 8th innings is = 440 - 370 = 70
