Question

In a cricket match, Pakistan had to score 307 runs in 50 overs to win. They scored at an average rate of 5.6 runs per over in the first 20 overs. What should be their average run rate per over for the remaining overs in order to reach the target? A.5.6 b.6.14 c.6.5 d.8.4

Answer 1

Answer:

option c is correct

C. 6.5 is answer

Answer 2

Average

(c) 6.5

Target score is 307.

Total number of overs is 50.

Average run rate per over for first 20 overs is 5.6 runs per over.

Total runs made by team in first 20 overs is

$20 \times 5.6=112$

Number of overs left =$50-20=30$ overs

So, team have to score $307-112=195$ more runs to achieve the target.

So, the average runs needed per over in last 30 overs is,

$\frac{195}{30}=6.5$

Hence on an average 6.5 runs/over is needed to hit the target.
