Correct Answer: 80


Solution : Given,
The average of the last five innings by Rohit = 58 runs
Runs scored in the last four innings = 42, 56, 72 and 40
We know, Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Number of values}}$
⇒ Total runs scored in last four innings = 42 + 56 + 72 + 40 = 210
Let the runs scored in the first innings be $x$.
⇒ $\frac{210 + x}{5} = 58$
⇒ $210 + x = 58 × 5$
⇒ $x = 290 - 210 = 80$
Hence, the correct answer is 80.
