Step-by-step explanation:
Let the lowest score in one innings be x. Then,
Highest score in an innings = x + 172
Total runs in 40 innings = 40 x 50 = 2000
Total runs in 38 innings = 38 x 48 = 1824
Given, 2000 - {x + (x + 172)} = 1824
⇒ 1828 - 2x = 1824 ⇒ 2x = 4 ⇒ x = 2
∴ Highest score = 172 + 2 = 174
