Question

In the first 5 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was 4.6. What should be the run
rate in the remaining 15 overs to reach the target of 183 run in 20 overs match?
A)
6.25
B)
10.5
C)
10.67
D)
10.75
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 10.67

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first five overs, runs will be 23 only

hence in remaining overs they will require 160 runs.

hence, 160÷15= 10.67

Answer 2

Given,

The run rate in the first five overs$\[ = 4.6\]$

The total number of overs in the game$\[ = 20\]$

The given target$\[ = 183\]$

Solution,

The runs scored by the batsmen in the first five overs

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 5 \times 4.6\\ = 23.0\end{array}\]$

The runs left to cover

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 183 - 23\\ = 160\end{array}\]$

Therefore, the required run rate is

$\[\begin{array}{l} = \frac{{160}}{{15}}\\ = 10.67\end{array}\]$

Hence, the correct option is(C) i.e.$\[10.67\].$
