Ans????plzz

• 51x+78=54(x+1)
  =>3x=24
  =>x=8
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(23) No(9)
• As Akanksha said we have to solve the equation we get 8 but total played will include current match also . so ans is 9.
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(20) No(9)
• ans- 8
  as 51=sum of run/matches. (1)
  54= (sum+78)/matches+1 (2)
  on solving the 2 equations we get matches=8
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(11)
• 9
  51=s/n
  54=s+78/n+1
  by solving we get n=8
  and including last match we get n+1=9

• 9 matches in this season.
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(3)
• (51x+78)/x+1 =54
  
  X = 8. Ans = X+1=9.
  Final ans = 9

• Answer will be 8.
  Because the question says " his avg will become 54".
  So till now number of match in 8.
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(6)
• let total match is x; than 51x+78/(x+1)=54
  that is x=8 ans
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
• avg=no of runs/no of matches
  (x/n)=51------------------- 1
  (x+78)/(n+1)=54------------------------2
  
  equalize 1 and 2 eqs
  
  x=51n
  
  sub in eq 2 ans is n=8.............

• batting avg =51
  If he scores 78..avg becomes 54.
  so..51x+78=54(x+1)
  3x=24
  x=8
  so..he has played 8 matches.

• if including today total match is x ;
  then,
  {78+(x-1)51}/x=54
  3x=27
  x=9
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• let us assume that,he played x matches and scored 51 runs so no of matches=51x
  In next match if he scored 78 runs,the avg will be 54 so==(51x+78)/(x+1)=54
  x=8
  so nbr of matches are 9
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 51x+78=54(x+1)
  => 3x=24
  => x=8
  But we need to include the last match also in which he scored 78. so Answer is 9.

• X=51N ,X+78= 54(N+1)
  N=8
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• ans =8
  x/n=51
  x+1/n+1=54
  n=8
