A cricketer had a certain average of runs for his 64 innings. In his 65th innings, he is bowled out for no score on his part. This brings down his average by 2 runs. His new average of runs is
-
- 130
- 128
- 70
- 68
- 130
Correct Option: B
Let the cricketer’s average of runs for his 64 innings be p runs.
&there45; Total number of runs in 64 innings = 64p
| According to the question, | = p - 2 | |
| 65 |
⇒ 64p = 65p – 130
⇒ p = 130
∴ New average of runs = p – 2 = 130 – 2 = 128
