Question : In the first 20 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 2.4 per over. What should be the run rate in the remaining 30 overs to reach a target of 308 runs? Could you give your answer correct to one decimal place?
Option 1: 5.8
Option 2: 7.2
Option 3: 6.4
Option 4: 8.7
Correct Answer: 8.7
Solution :
Remaining runs = Total target − (Run rate in first 20 overs × Number of overs bowled)
= 308 – (2.4 × 20)
= 260
So, Run rate required = $\frac{\text{Remaining runs}}{ \text{remaining overs}}$ = $\frac{260}{30}$ = 8.7
Hence, the correct answer is 8.7.
