Question 121

The average score of a cricketer for 13 matches is 42 runs. If his average score for the, first 5 matches is 54 runs, then what was his average score for the last 8 matches ?

Solution

Average runs scored= $$\frac{Runs Scored}{NumberOfMatches}$$

Total number of runs in 13 matches = 13*42 = 546

Number of runs scored in first 5 matches = 5*54 = 270

Runs scored in remaining 8 matches = 546-270 = 276

Average in remaining matches = $$\frac{276}{8}$$ = 34.5
