Correct Answer: 120
Solution : Given: The average number of runs scored by a cricketer in 42 innings = 30 If these two innings are not taken into consideration, then the average score of the remaining 40 innings is 28. Total runs in 40 innings = (40 × 28) = 1120 Total runs in 42 innings = (42 × 30) = 1260 So, the sum of his maximum and minimum scores = (1260 – 1120) = 140 The difference between his maximum and minimum scores in an inning = 100. Therefore, the maximum score = $\frac{140 + 100}{2}$ = 120 Hence, the correct answer is 120.
