Correct Answer - Option 4 : 35.3
Given:
The average number of runs scored by a batsman in 14 matches is 39.
Again, he scores an average of 31 runs in the next 12 matches.
Formula:
Sum of values = Average × Number of values
Calculation:
Total runs scored by the batsman in 14 matches = 39 × 14 = 546
Total runs scored in the next 12 matches = 31 × 12 = 372
Total runs scored in 26 matches = 546 + 372 = 918
The average runs scored in 26 matches = 918/26 = 35.3
∴ The average runs scored by a batsman in 26 matches is 35.3
