Correct Answer: 6.2


Solution : Given:
The run rate in the first 30 overs was 5.2 runs per over.
The total runs in the first 30 overs = 30 × 5.2 = 156
The target score is 280.
The remaining runs = 280 – 156 = 124
The remaining overs are 20.
$\therefore$ The required run rate = $\frac{\text{The remaining runs}}{\text{The remaining overs}}$=$\frac{124}{20}$ = 6.2
Hence, the correct answer is 6.2.
