Question

In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25 runs per over.

Step-by-step explanation:

First 10 overs has 3.2 run rate means

Runs in first 10 overs = 10 × 3.2 = 32

Total runs to be scored = 282

So the run rate of next 40 overs is

(total runs scored - runs scored in first 10 overs)/40

(282 - 32)/40 = 250/40 = 6.25

So the run rate of next 40 overs = 6.25
