Question

A cricketer's average in 10 innings is 58. If his highest score is excluded, the average drops to 54. What is his highest score?

• A. 93
• B. 92
• C. 94
• D. 90

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 94

Average for 10 innings = 58

So total runs:
$10 \times 58 = 580$

After removing the highest score, he has 9 innings with average 54:

$9 \times 54 = 486$

So, highest score = total − remaining total:

$580 - 486 = 94$

Final Answer: 94 runs
