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?
A) 6.5 B) 7 C) 6.25 D) 6.75

Answer 1

See in the first ten overs the run rate was 3.2 it means that 3.2 × 10 = 32 runs were scored in 10 overs.
Target is 282, so 282 - 32 = 250
250 more runs have to be scored.
So run rate should be
$\frac{250}{40} = 6.25$
