A cricketer had a certain average of runs for his 64 innings. In his 65th innings, he is bowled out for no score on his part. This brings down his average by 2 runs. His new average of runs is
Options:
A . 128
B . 68
C . 130
D . 70
Answer: Option A Answer: (a)Let the cricketer’s average of runs for his 64 innings be x runs. ∴ Total number of runs in 64 innings = 64x According to the question, ${64x+0}/65$ = x-2 ⇒ 64x = 65x – 130 ⇒ x = 130 ∴ New average of runs = x – 2 = 130– 2 = 128
