Question

In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs ?

1. 6.75
2. 6.5
3. 6.25
4. 7

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 6.25

Given:

Run rate for first 10 overs =  3.2

Formula Used:

Run rate = (Total runs )/ Number of overs

Calcualtion:

for the 1st 10 overs the score will be 10*3.2=32
⇒  the remaining score is 282-32=250
⇒ remaining overs = 40

⇒  the run rate  required = 250/40=6.25

Conclusion:
∴ Run rate should be 6.25
