• A. 28.95
• B. 32.32
• C. 25.97
• D. 27.72

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 28.95

Solution: Calculation: Total runs conceded by bowler in 6 matches ⇒ 6 × 36 = 216 Total runs conceded by a bowler in other 5 matches ⇒ 5 × 20.5 = 102.5 Total runs conceded by a bowler in 11 matches ⇒ 216 + 102.5 = 318.5 Average runs conceded by the bowler in 11 matches ⇒ 318.5/11 = 28.95 ∴ The average runs conceded by the bowler in 11 matches is 28.95
