Question : The average runs of a cricket player in 10 innings were 40. How many runs must she make in her next inning so as to increase her average of runs by 3?
Option 1: 43
Option 2: 53
Option 3: 73
Option 4: 63
Correct Answer: 73
Solution :
The average runs of a cricket player in 10 innings = 40
Total runs scored in 10 innings = 40×10 = 400
New average = 43
Total runs to be scored in 11 innings = 43 × 11 = 473
Runs scored in the 11th innings = 473 – 400 = 73
Hence, the correct answer is 73.
