Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- d) 85
Upto last match, let the wickets was x, and runs=12.4x
New average after taking 5 wickets for 26 runs =(12.4x + 26)/(x+5) =(12.4 - 0.4)
=> 12.4x + 26 =12x + 60
=> 0.4x = 34 or x=85 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 12.4 x +26 = 12(x+5) (x be the number of wickets taken initially)
12.4x + 26 = 12x + 60. 0.4x = 60-26 = 34. x = 85 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
