Question

Dravid scored 150 runs in the first test and 228 runs in the second. How many runs should he score in the third test so that his average score in the three tests would be 230 runs ?

• A. 112 runs
• B. 300 runs
• C. 256 runs
• D. 312 runs

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 312 runs

Let the runs he should score in third test be x. Then, (150 + 228 + x)/3 = 230 ⇒ (378 + x)/3 = 230 ⇒ 378 + x = 690 ⇒ x = 690 – 378 = 312
