Question : The average of a batsman in 16 innings is 36. In the next innings, he scores 70 runs. What will be his new average?
Option 1: 53
Option 2: 35
Option 3: 106
Option 4: 38
Correct Answer: 38
Solution :
The average of a batsman in 16 innings is 36, which means the total runs scored in these 16 innings is 16 × 36 = 576.
When he scores 70 in the next innings, the total runs become 576 + 70 = 646.
The total number of innings = 16 + 1 = 17
So, the new average = $\frac{646}{17}$ = 38
Hence, the correct answer is 38.
