Question

A batsman has completed 15 innings and his average is 22 runs. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to raise his average to 26?

• A. 36
• B. 48
• C. 64
• D. 86

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 86

Total runs of 15 innings = 22*15=330 runs he needs a score of x in 16th innings, Then average in 16th innings = (330+x) /16 (330+x) /16 = 26 330+x = 16*26 330+x = 416 X = 416-330 X = 86
