Question:

A batsman in his 13th innings makes a score of 97 runs, thereby increasing his average score by 5.  What is his average score after his 13th innings?

Options:

37

47

57

77

Correct Answer:

37

Explanation:

Extra runs score by him to increase average only is:

13 Inning × 5 (+ Avg.) = 65

Remaining 97 – 65 = 32 runs score to maintain previous average

⸫ Previous average = 32

New average = 32 + 5 = 37
