Correct Answer - Option 1 : 60

Given:

On a certain match between India and Pakistan, India has a success rate of 60% against Pakistan in all ODIs played between two countries. They lost next 40 ODIs in a row to Pakistan and their success rate comes down to 20%.

Concept used:

Percentage

Calculation:

Let the number of matches be x

Matches won = 60% = $\frac{3}{5}x$

Number of matches Lost = 40

Total matches = x + 40

Success rate = Matches won / Total matches

⇒ $\frac{{\frac{3}{5}x}}{{x + 40}} = \frac{{20}}{{100}}$

⇒ x = 20

Total matches = 20 + 40 = 60
