Correct Answer: 60%


Solution : The runs scored by hitting sixes and fours are,
Sixes: 4 sixes × 6 runs/six = 24 runs
Fours: 6 fours × 4 runs/four = 24 runs
So, the total runs scored by hitting sixes and fours = 24 + 24 = 48 runs
The runs made by running between the wickets are the total runs minus the runs from sixes and fours= 120 – 48 = 72 runs
The percentage of his total score made by running between the wickets $= \frac{\text{Runs made by running}}{\text{Total runs}}$ × 100%
$= \frac{72}{120}$ × 100 = 60%
Hence, the correct answer is 60%.
