In a one day match of 50 overs in an innings the team A had a run rate of 5.3 runs per over. Team B is playing and 5 overs are left and the required run rate to tie the match is 7.2 per over to match the score of Team A. What is team B's score?

A) 265 B) 238 C) 254 D) 229

Answer 1

Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-

Team A :-

→ Total overs Played by Team A = 50 overs.

→ Run / Rate = 5.3 Runs / over

So,

→ Total score by Team A = 5.3 * 50 = 265 Runs.

Now, For Team B :-

→ Overs to Played = 5 overs.

→ Required Run rate now = 7.2 Runs / over .

Therefore,

→ Runs required by Team B to tie the match = 7.2 * 5 = 36 Runs.

Therefore,

→ Team B Present score = 265 - 36 = 229 Runs.(D) (Ans.)

Hence, Team B score 229 Runs in 45 overs.

✯ Total number of overs played = 50 overs



✯ Run Rate = 5.3 runs per over



✯ Total score= no. of overs × run rate


= 50over × 5.3 run/ over


= 265 runs.



${ \boxed{ \bold{ \underline{ \orange{team \: B}}}}}$



✯ number of overs left = 5 overs



✯ Run Rate required to tie the match= 7.2 runs per over



✯ number of runs required for tie


= 5overs × 7.2 run/ over


= 36 runs.

➔ team B's score??



${ \bold{ \: according \: to \: the \: question}}$



team A' s score = team B's score + 36 runs



➔ team B's score = team A' s score- 36



➔ team B's score = 265 runs - 36 runs



${ \underline{ \boxed{ \bold{ \red{team \: B 's\: score = 229 \: runs}}}}}$
