Solution : Given: The average score of runs in 11 innings is 63. So, the total number of runs = (11 × 63) = 693 The average score of the first 6 innings is 60. So, the total runs in the first 6 innings is 6 × 60 = 360 The average score of his last 6 innings is 65. So, the total runs in the last 6 innings is 6 × 65 = 390 Total runs scored in the 6th inning = 360 + 390 – 693 = 750 – 693 = 57 Hence, the correct answer is 57.
