Correct Answer: 98


Solution : According to the question,
Average runs = 32
Total runs = 32 × 10 = 320
Now the increase in average is 6 runs
So, the new average = 32 + 6 = 38 runs
Total runs = 38 × 11 = 418
Therefore, the runs made in the 11 th inning = 418 − 320 = 98
Hence, the correct answer is 98.
