A33 ⅓ %

B40%

C60%

D50%

Answer:

B. 40%

Read Explanation:

To determine the percentage of the batsman's total score made by running between the wickets, let's break down the problem step by step:

Given:

  • The batsman scored 160 runs in total.

  • The batsman hit 15 boundaries (4 runs each) and 6 sixes (6 runs each).

Step 1: Calculate the total runs made by boundaries and sixes:

  • Runs from boundaries: 15×4 = 60 runs.

  • Runs from sixes: 6×6= 36 runs.

So, the total runs from boundaries and sixes is:

60 + 36 = 96 runs

Step 2: Calculate the runs made by running:

The batsman's total score is 160 runs. The runs made by running will be the total runs minus the runs made from boundaries and sixes:

160−96=64 runs.

Step 3: Calculate the percentage of total runs made by running:

The percentage of runs made by running is:

64/160×100=40%.

Conclusion:

The batsman made 40% of his total score by running between the wickets.
