Question

A cricketer scored a total of 62 runs in 96 balls. He hit 3 sixes, 8 fours, 2 twos and 8 singles. What percentage of the total runs came in

(i) Sixes

(ii) 4’s

(iii) 2’s

(iv) singles

Answer 1

Total runs scored by cricketer = 62

(i) Run scored in 3 sixes = 3×6 = 18

Percentage of runs scored in sixes

\(=\frac{18}{62}\times100\)=29.03%

(ii) Run scored in 8 fours = 8×4 = 32

Percentage of runs scored in fours 
\(=\frac{32}{62}\times{100}\) =51.61%

(iii) Run scored in 2 two’s = 2×2 = 4

Percentage of runs scored in two’s \(=\frac{4}{62}\times100\)=6.45%

(iv) Run scored in singles = 8

Percentage of runs scored in singles \(=\frac{4}{62}\times{100}\) =12.9%
