Correct Answer: P


Solution : Using the formula
Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Number of runs scored}}{\text{Number of balls played}}$ × 100
According to the question
Strike Rate for P = $\frac{70}{25}$×100 = 280
Strike Rate for Q = $\frac{80}{60}$×100 = 133.33
Strike Rate for R = $\frac{90}{50}$×100 = 180
Strike Rate for S = $\frac{110}{160}$×100 = 68.75
Strike Rate for T = $\frac{40}{40}$×100 = 100
P has the highest strike rate
Hence, the correct answer is P
