Correct Answer: 88


Solution : Let's denote the total runs scored in the nine innings by the batsman as T. The average score in these nine innings is given as 58.
Average = $\frac{\text{Total runs scored}}{\text{Number of innings}}$​
For the first nine innings:
⇒ Total = 58 × 9 = 522
Now, the batsman wants an average of 61 after ten innings.
Total runs after 1o innings = 10 × 61 = 610
So, runs scored in 10th inning = 610 - 522 = 88
Hence, the correct answer is 88.
