A batsman scored 124 runs which included 6 boundaries and 10 sixes. What percentage of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 32 8/31%.
By hitting 6 boundaries and 10 sixes, the batsman scored 6 × 4 + 10 × 6 = 24 + 60 = 84 runs
Thus, the score he made by running between the wickets = 124 - 84 = 40 runs
Required percentage = (40/124) × 100 = 32 × 8/31 %
