Question

A player has an average of 75 runs till twenty-five matches, for next five-matches he scores 240. Then what is his new average?
1. 72.5
2. 74.5
3. 76.5
4. 70.5

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 70.5

GIVEN:

 the average score of twenty-five matches = 75 runs

 In the next five-matches score = 240.

FORMULA USED:

Average = Sum of numbers/Total numbers

CALCULATION:

Total runs till twenty-five matches = 25 × 75 = 1875

So,

New average = [1875 + 240]/30 = 2115/30

New average = 70.5
