Question

In an ODI cricket match, a team has scored 300 runs included 15 fours and 6 sixes. How much percent runs are scored without any boundary?
1. 50%
2. 68%
3. 75%
4. 60%

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 68%

Given:

Total runs = 300

Number of fours = 15

Number of sixes = 6

Formula used:

Percentage of runs scored without boundary = {(Total runs - Runs scored by boundaries)/Total runs} × 100

Calculations:

Runs scored by boundaries = ( 4 × 15 + 6 × 6)

⇒ 96

Percentage of runs scored without boundary = {(Total runs - Runs scored by boundaries)/Total runs} × 100

⇒ {(300 - 96)/300} × 100

⇒ 68%

∴ The percentage of runs scored without any boundary is 68%.
