Batsman B faced equal number of balls in first 10 matches he played in the tournament and last 10 matches he played in the tournament. If his strike rate in first 10 matches and last 10 matches of the tournament are 120 and 158 respectively, what is the total number of balls faced by him in the tournament?


A) 1150

B) 1400

C) 1200

D) 1446.2

E) 1500

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Combined Strike rate of 20 matches,

= $\frac{120+158}{2}$ = 139

Total balls faced = $\frac{Total runs scored}{Strike rate}\times100$

= $\frac{20\times81}{39}\times100$ = 1165.43 = 1150
