Question 85

In the first 38 overs of a cricket match, the run rate was 4.5 runs/over. Calculate the required run rate in the remaining 12 overs to reach the target of 288 runs?

Solution

Run rate in 38 overs = 4.5 runs/over

=> Runs scored in 38 overs = $$38 \times 4.5 = 171$$

Runs needed to score in 12 overs = 288 - 171 = 117

=> Run rate required = $$\frac{117}{12} = 9.75$$

=> Ans - (C)
