Answers
Answer:
For eample
Step-by-step explanation:
How many times was the batsman dismissed in the previous 4 innings
Whether he remained not out in the fifth innings, or was dismissed
There is a difference in the way average is calculated in mathematics and the way it is calculated in cricket. Average of a batsman is the number of runs he scores, before he is dismissed, irrespective of the number of innings he has played.
Since the batsman has an average, it means that he has been dismissed at least once, otherwise he would have had undetermined average, after the fourth innings.
A. If he remains not out in the fifth innings:- The average will be calculated based on the number of dismissals in the previous innings.
A. i) Dismissed once:- The aggregate of previous innings is 32 in this scenario. So he needs 18 (not out) in the fifth innings to attain an average of 50.
A. ii)Dismissed twice:- Aggregate of previous innings is 64. So, he needs 36* for an average of 50.
A. iii) Dismissed thrice:- Aggregate of previous innings is 96. So, he needs 54* for an average of 50.
A. iv) Dismissed four times:- Aggregate of previous innings is 128. So, 72* is needed for an average of 50
B. If he was dismissed in the fifth innings:- The runs will be averaged iver the number of dismissals in the previous innings + 1.
B.i)Dismissed once:- Aggregate of previous innings is 32. For an average of 50, 68 (100-32)is needed.
B.ii)Dismissed twice:- Aggregate if previous innings is 64.For an average of 50, 86(150-64) is needed.
B. iii) Dismissed thrice:- Aggregate of previous innings is 96. For an average of 50, 104 (200-96), is needed in the fifth innings.
B. iv) Dismissed four times:- Aggregate of previous inninga is 128. For an average if 50, 122(250-128), is needed.
