Question:

A batsman scores 87 runs in his 17th innings. Due to this his average increased by 3 runs. Find his current average.

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Let the new average = x

Total runs scored in 17 innings = 17x

Avg. after 16th inning = x – 3

Total runs scored in 16 innings = 16 (x – 3)

ATQ,

16 (x – 3) + 87 = 17x

⸫ x = 87 – 48

x = 39
