• C. 3
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3

Solution: Calculation: Increase in 2nd match from 1st match = 17 - 10 = 7 Increase in 3rd match from 2nd match = 51 - 17 = 34 Increase in 4th match from 3rd match = 45 - 51 = -6 Increase in 5th match from 4th match = 63 - 45 = 18 Increase in 6th match from 5th match = 39 - 63 = -24 ∴ In 3 matches his performance was better than the previous match.
