In the first 24 matches, a cricket player averages 60 runs. The overall average for all 32 matches is 80. Determine the average for the last 8 matches.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 140.
Total runs of 32 matches = 32 × 80 = 2560
Total runs of 24 matches = 24 × 60 = 1440
Total runs of remaining 8 matches = 2560 - 1440 = 1120
Required average = 1120/8 = 140
