Question

a batsman scored 85 runs in the 17th inning and there by increased the run average of the previous 16th innings by 3 .whose average is better now ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the average of runs for 16 innings be A

Then,average of runs for 17 innings =A+3

Total runs for 16 innings = 16A

= Total runs for 17 innings = 16A+85

Given, 16A+85/17 =A+3

=16A+85 =17A+51 =A=34

: Average of 17 innings =34+3=37
