batting avg of 40 innings of a player is 52.his highest score exceeds lowest score by 172 runs.two innings excluded,avg of remaining 38 innings is 40,his highest score?

• consider highest and lowest score be H and L
  total score in 4o innings =40*52
  total score in 38 innings =38*40
  remaning are lowest and highest scores that is 40*52-38*40=H+L=560---->1
  given that H-L=172 -------->2
  by sloving 1 and 2 we get
  H=366

• Theoretically RAVI is correct.But As per data provided in this question is wrong logically.Becoz if Highest is 366 and lowest is 194 then average should flip in 194 to 366.

• Highest score be x
  Lowest score= x-172
  52*40-(x+(x-172))=38*40
  X=366

• Two innings run is 40*52-38*40 =560.
  Now average of remaining inning is 40.
  
  Now ,If you divide 560 in two equal part is 280.And then the lowest score is 108.
  So,question is wrong.

• his total run in 40 innings = 40*52=2080
  and if we exclude 2 inninds his total runs become=38*40=1520
  if we suntract these two we will get the runs of the two excluded innings=2080-1520=560
  which is the sum of the lowest and highest innings H+L=560and it is given H-L=172
  by solving these two eq. we have highest score is 366

• data is wrong i think he typed 40 instead of 50

• 40*52=2080
  38*40=1520
  let be the lowest score- 'x'
  and highest score is- 'x+1'
  
  and 2080-1520=560
  two innnings
  x+x+172=560
  2x=488
  x=244
  finally highest score is 244+172=416

• Total runs 40 innings is 40*52=2080
  Total runs in 38 innings is 38*40=1520
  Differences between highest and lowest score is H-L=172
  Therefore H+L=560
  Solving above equation we get L=194 and H=366

• ans is 366
  let highest score=x
  lowest score=x-172
  then (40*52)-(x+x-172)=38*40
  solve this
