Question

Tendulkar's number in the batting order was immediately after

Options:

A . Yuvraj

B . Srinath

C . Yuvaraj or Srinath

D . Cannot be determined

Answer: Option C
:
C
It is given that the first a batsmen scored multiples of 5. Also the first two scored a total of 50 and the ratio of scores of the first three batsmen Ganguly, Sehwag and Pathan was 6 : 4 : 3. i.e. either 6x + 4x = 50 or 6x + 3x = 50 or 4x + 3x = 50
As the only possibility is 6x + 4x = 50, Ganguly scored 30, Sehwag scored 20 and Pathan scored 15. Hence Pathan was

3^{r d}

in the batting order.
Yuvraj scored 5 times that of Sehwag, i.e. 100.
Tendulkar scored equal to Sehwag, i.e. 20
Srinath scored 5 times Tendulkar, i.e.100
Hence Yuvraj and Srinath occupy positions 4 and 5, not necessarily in that order
Ganguly = Tendulkar + Extras. Therefore, Extras = 10
Munaf and Mohanty are batsmen 10 and 11, though not necessarily in that order.
Together they score 40 which is equal to 25 + Dhoni + Pathan. Hence Dhoni = 0

Batsmen 9 scored 5. As the two who score 0 are consecutive, batsmen 7 scores 0. Hence Tendulkar has only one slot left, i.e. 6. Now all questions can be answered.
