Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 52
Let Average of Virat kohli after 9 innings be A.
Average = sum of runs/total innings played
Sum of runs after 9 innings = 9 × A = 9A
A/C to question, in the tenth innings he scored 106 runs there by increasing his average by 6 runs
A + 6 = (9A + 106)/10
10A + 60 = 9A + 106
A = 46
Hence his new batting average has been improved by 6 runs i.e = 46 + 6 = 52
