Question

In a one day match the run rate of a team in 28 overs while chasing a target of 341 runs is 5.25, then what is the required run rate for the batting team to win the match?
1. 7. 94
2. 8.46
3. 7.68
4. 8.82
5. 9.75

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 8.82

Given:

Target = 341

Run rate in 28 overs = 5.25

Formula used:

Average = sum of observations/total number of observations

Calculation:

Runs scored in 28 overs = 28 × 5.25 = 147

Remaining runs = 341 - 147 = 194

∴ Required rate = 194/22 ≈ 8.82

∴ The required rate is 8.82 runs/over
