The average runs scored by a batsman in 7 matches is 49 and in other 9 matches the average is 27. What is the average runs scored by the batsman in these 16 matches.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Sum of runs scored in 7 matches = 49 x 7 = 343
Sum of runs scored in other 9 matches = 27 x 9 = 243
Average runs scored in 16 matches = \(\frac{343 + 243}{16}\) = 36.625 runs
