Correct Answer: 57


Solution : Given:
The average of runs scored by 5 players = 49
Runs of four players = 75, 30, 62 and 21
Let the runs scored by the fifth player be $f$.
Average runs = $\frac{\text{Total runs}}{\text{Total number of players}}$
⇒ $49 =\frac{(75 + 30 + 62 + 21 + f)}{5}$
⇒ 188 + $f$ = 245
$\therefore f$ = 57
Hence, the correct answer is 57.
