Question:

The average run rate of a cricket team during the first 25 overs is 5 . What should be the asking rate per over for the next 25 overs, if it has to chase a target of 350 runs in total?

Options:

5

9

8

12

Correct Answer:

9

Explanation:

Total runs scored in 25 overs = 25 × 5 = 125

 Remaining run = 350 - 125 = 225

 Run rate/over = \(\frac{225}{25}\) = 9
