Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- Average = Total Runs / Total wickets
Total runs after last match = 24.85w + 52
Total wickets after last match = w + 5
(24.85w + 52) / (w + 5) = 24.85 - 0.85 = 24
w = 80
so total wickets aftr last match = w+5 = 85 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(2)
- total wickets =w+5 =85
hence c is the answer - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(6)
- Average = Total Runs / Total wickets
Total runs after last match = 24.85w + 52
Total wickets after last match = w + 5
(24.85w + 52) / (w + 5) = 24.85 - 0.85 = 24
w = 80
E)none of this - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(11)
- c
x 24.85 24x
x+5 24 (x+5)24
total run = 24x+52=(x+5)24
x=80
total 85 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
