Question

In the first 36 overs of a cricket match, the run rate was 4.3 runs/over. Calculate the required run rate in the remaining 14 overs to reach the target of 271 runs?

A) 8.9 B) 9.5 C) 8.3 D) 7.7

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 8.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total score at present = 36 × 4.3 = 155

Total runs req = 271 - 155 =. 116

Run rate req = 116/14 = 8.2857 = 8.3

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, number of overs = 36 and run rate was 4.3 runs / over.

Run rate in 36 overs = 4.3 runs/over

→Runs scored in 36 overs =

$36 \times 4.3 = 154.8$

Runs needed to score in 14 overs =

$271 - 154.8 = 116.2$

Run rate required =

$\frac{116.2}{14} = 8.3$

Required rat rate is 8.3.
