The batting average for 40 innings of a cricket palyer is 50 runs. His highest score exceeds his lowest score by 172 runs. If these two innings are excluded, the average of the remaining 38 innings is 48 runs. The highest score of the player is
A. 165 runs
B. 170 runs
C. 172 runs
D. 174 runs

• Since scores are differ by 172
  let us consider the highest as x+172
  lowest score would be x
  x+ 172 + x=176
  2x=4
  x=2
  so x+172=174
  Ans: 174

• Total runs scored in 40 inngs : 40 x 50 = 2000
  38 inngs runs scored : 38 x 48 = 1824
  remaining runs scored in two left inngs = 2000-1824=176
  as per condition,
  let say in 1st inng runs scored = 4
  2nd inng -> 172
  total => 176
  thus highest runs scored : 172
  ans -> C
