Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Total runs in 6 overs = 4 + 15 + 8 + 7 + 10 + 3 = 47 Let the total runs scored in the 7th over be $x$. ⇒ Runs scored in the 8th over = $x$ – 5 And, Runs scored in the 9th over = $x$ + 6 Given the average runs scored till the 9th over = 9 ⇒ $\frac{\text{Total runs scored till the 9th over}}{9}=9$ ⇒ Total runs scored till the 9th over = 9$\times$9 = 81 ⇒ 47 + $x$ + $x$ – 5 + $x$ + 6 = 81 ⇒ 48 + 3$x$ = 81 ⇒ 3$x$ = 81 – 48 ⇒ 3$x$ = 33 ⇒ $x$ = 11 ⇒ Runs scored in the 8th over = 11 – 5 = 6 Hence, the correct answer is 6.
