In the first 5 overs of a T-20 international cricket match, the run rate was only 5.6. What should be the run rate (approximately) in the remaining 15 overs to reach a target of 185 runs?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10.46.

Runs scored in first 5 overs = 5.6 × 5 = 28

Remaining runs = 185 − 28 = 157

Remaining overs = 15

Required run rate = 15715157\over15 ≈ 10.46
