The average of a batsman after 25 innings was 62 runs per innings. If after the 26th inning his average increased by 1 run, then what was his score in the 26th inning?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct option is
B
55
Assume his initial average =X
His total runs after 6 innings =6X
After scoring 80 runs his average got increased by 5 to X+5
So his total runs after 6 innings=6×(X+5)
But it was given that the difference in the total scores after 5 innings and 6 innings =80
∴6×(X+5)−5X=80
⇒6X+30−5X=80
x=50
His new average =50+5=55
