The average runs scored by Sunil in 17 innings is 37. What is his score in the 17th inning, thereby, increasing his average score by 9 runs?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Average runs till 16 innings = 37 - 9 = 28
Sum of runs of 16 innings = 16 × 28 = 448
According to question ,
448 + run of 17th inning = 17 × 37
Run of 17th inning = 629 - 448 = 181
