Question

A batsman scored 150 runs in a one-day cricket match. He hit 20 fours and 5 sixes. Calculate the percentage of runs he scored by running between the wickets.

• A. 25%
• B. 73.33%
• C. 50.66%
• D. 26.67%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 26.67%

Given:

Total runs = 150

No. of fours = 20

No. of sixes = 5

Formula used:

percentage = $\frac{remaining run}{total run}\times{100}$

Calculation:

Total run = 150

⇒ Run scored by fours = $20\times{4}$ = 80

⇒ Run scored by sixes = 5 $\times$ 6 = 30

⇒ Remaining run = 150 - (80 + 30) = 40

⇒ Percentage = $\frac{40}{50}\times{100}$

∴ Required percentage of runs he scored by running between the wickets = 26.67%
