Question

The average run scored by 11 players is 60.if the run scored by captain are neglected, the average of run scored by the remaining players increases by 5.How many runs were scored by captain?

Answer 1

11×60=660
captain=x
660-x/10 =60+5
660-x. = 650
x =10

Answer 2

therefore total run scored by the team=60*11=660

let the runs scored by captain be 'x'

then A/Q  average of run scored by the remaining players increases by 5

so,10 players remaining excl. captain and avg of each increases by 5

so 660-x=65*10

therefore x=10
