Question:

The average run rate of a cricket team during the first 20 overs is 4.5. What should be the asking rate per over for the next 30 overs, if it has to chase a target of 282 runs in total ?

Options:

6.8

6.3

6.0

6.4

Correct Answer:

6.4

Explanation:

Total runs in 50 overs = 282

Average of runs in 20 overs = 4.5

Sum of run in 20 overs = 4.5 x 0 = 90

Runs need in remaining 30 overs = 282 - 90 = 192

Average runs in 30 overs = \(\frac{192}{30}\) = 6.4
