The average score of a batsman in 20 innings is 42. If his highest score of 120 is excluded, what is the new average?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 37.89.
Total score of 20 innings = 20 × 42 = 840
New total score = 840 - 120 = 720
Total innings = 20 - 1 = 19
Average score = 720/19 ≈ 37.89
