A batsman has an average of 54 runs in 19 innings. How many runs should he score in the 20th innings to raise his average to 56?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Total score of 19 innings = 54 × 19 = 1026
New average after 20 innings = 56
Total score = 56 × 20 = 1120
Runs in the 20th innings = 1120 − 1026 = 94
