1. 37
2. 35
3. 48
4. 41
5. 32

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 37

Given:

Five inning’s scores are 62, 73, 54, 61, and 43. Including 6^th innings average score is 55.

Formula used:

Average score = total score/number of innings

Calculation:

No of innings = 6

Average score = 55

Total score = 6 × 55 = 330

Score in 6^th innings = 330 – (62 + 73 + 54 + 61 + 43) = 37

∴ He should score 37 runs in 6^th innings so that his average runs would be 55 runs.
