In a football tournament, a player has played a certain number of matches and 10 more matches are to be played. If he scores a total of one goal over the next 10 matches, his overall average will be 0.15 goals per match. On the other hand, if he scores a total of two goals over the next 10 matches, his overall average will be 0.2 goals per match. The number of matches he has played is
Correct Answer: 10
Let Total matches played be n and in initial n-10 matches his goals be x
so we get $$\frac{\left(x+1\right)}{n}=0.15$$
we get x+1 =0.15n (1)
From condition (2) we get :
$$\frac{\left(x+2\right)}{n}=0.2$$
we get x+2 = 0.2n (2)
Subtracting (1) and (2)
we get 1 =0.05n
n =20
So initially he played n-10 =10 matches
