In the first 20 overs of a cricket match, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run-rate in the remaining 30 overs to reach the target of 286 runs? |
5.75 6.25 6.80 7.40 |
7.40 |
In the first 20 overs of a cricket game, the average run rate = 3.2 We know that, Average = sum of elements/number of elements Total runs made in the first 20 overs = 20 × 3.2 = 64 Total runs should be made in 50 overs = 286 Total runs should be made in remaining 30 overs = 286 – 64 = 222 The run rate should be in the remaining 30 overs = 222/30 = 7.4 |
