Correct Answer: 41.75


Solution : According to the question statement:
The sum of runs in 7 matches = 7 ⨯ 53 = 371
The sum of runs in 9 matches = 9 ⨯ 33 = 297
Total runs in 16 matches = 371 + 297 = 668
So, average runs scored in 16 matches = $\frac{668} {16}$ = 41.75
Hence, the correct answer is 41.75.
