Question

a cricketer whose biwling avarage 24.85 runs per wicket. he takes 5 wickets for 52 runs and improve his bowling avarage by 0.85 runs the no of wickets taken by him till the last match?​

Answer 1

HERE IS THE ANSWER:-

Let the no. of wickets = x  

According to question  

24.85x + 52 = 24 (x + 5)  

24.85x + 52 = 24x + 120  

0.85x = 68  

x = 68×100/85

x = 80

No. of wickets till the last match is x + 5 = 80 + 5 = 85
