1)

In the tournament, the total number of balls faced by batsman A is 74 less than the total number of runs scored by him. What is the average run scored by batsman A in the tournament?


A) 42.5

B) 39.5

C) 38

D) 44

E) 40.5

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Let the total number of runs scored by a batsman = x 

Since given that strike rate, according to the question,

129.6 = $\frac{x}{x-74}\times100$

$129.6x - 129.6\times74 = 100x$

$x = \frac{129.6\times74}{29.6}$ = 324

So, the average run scored by the batsman A

= $\frac{324}{8}$ = 40.5
