Correct Answer: 14 runs


Solution : Given: Average run is 23, number of players is 11, and first player score is 113.
According to the question,
Total runs = Average runs × Number of players = 23 × 11 = 253
The first player scored 113 runs.
Runs scored by remaining players = 253 – 113 = 140
Average runs of remaining players = $\frac{140}{10}=14$
Hence, the correct answer is 14.
