Question 130

Average score of a cricketer in 13 matches is 42 runs. if the average score in the first five matches be 54 runs, what is the average score in the last eight matches ?

Solution

Average = $$\frac{Total Runs}{Number of Matches}$$

Overall Average runs = 42

Total Matches = 13

Total Runs = 42 x 13 = 546

Now , Average runs in 5 matches = 54

total run in first 5 matches = 54 x 5 = 270

Total Runs in last 8 matches = 546- 270 = 276

Average of last 8 matches = $$\frac{276}{8}$$ = 34.5

hence the answer is option B
