Question : 21 [SSC MTS 2013]
A cricket player after playing 10 tests scored 100 runs in the 11th test. As a result, the average of his runs is increased by 5. The present average of runs is
a) 40
b) 55
c) 45
d) 50
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the average in 10 tests be x, then,
x × 10 + 100 = (x + 5) × 11
⇒ 11x – 10x = 100 – 55
⇒ x = 45
∴ Required average = 50
Question : 22
The average of runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 32. How many runs must he make in his next inning so as to increase his average of runs by 4 ?
a) 70
b) 2
c) 76
d) 4
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the batsman make x runs. Total runs in 10 innings = 10 × 32 = 320
∴ ${320+x}/11$ = 32+4
⇒ 320 + x = 36 × 11
⇒ x = 396 – 320 = 76
Aliter : Using Rule 18,
If in the group of N persons, a new person comes at the place of a person of 'T’ years, so that average age,
increases by 't’ years
Then, the age of the new person = T + N.t.
Here, T = 32, N = 11, t = 4
Required Run = T + Nt
[Here N is taken as (n + 1)]
= 32 + 11 × 4
= 32 + 44 = 76
Question : 23 [SSC CGL Prelim 2008]
The bowling average of a cricketer was 12.4. He improves his bowling average by 0.2 points when he takes 5 wickets for 26 runs in his last match. The number of wickets taken by him before the last match was
a) 150
b) 200
c) 125
d) 175
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the number of wickets taken by the cricketer before the last match = x
According to the question,
${12.4x+26}/{x+5}$ =12.2
⇒ 12.4x + 26 = 12.2x + 61
⇒ 0.2x = 61 – 26 = 35
⇒ x = $35/{0.2}$=$350/2$=175
Question : 24 [SSC CAPFs SI, CISF 2015]
The average run of a player is 32 out of 10 innings. How many runs must he make in the next innings so as to increase his average by 6 ?
a) 40
b) 98
c) 38
d) 6
Answer »Answer: (b)
Runs scored in the next innings = x (let)
According to the question,
10 × 32 + x = 11 × 38
⇒ 320 + x = 418
⇒ x = 418 – 320 = 98
Aliter : Using Rule 18,
If in the group of N persons, a new person comes at the place of a person of 'T’ years, so that average age,
increases by 't’ years
Then, the age of the new person = T + N.t.
Here, T = 32, N= (10 + 1) = 11, t = 6
Required Runs = T + Nt
= 32 + 11 × 6
= 32 + 66 = 98
Question : 25 [SSC CPO 2004]
The average of runs scored by a player in 10 innings is 50. How many runs should he score in the 11th innings so that his average is increased by 2 runs ?
a) 72 runs
b) 54 runs
c) 80 runs
d) 60 runs
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the number of runs scored in 11th innings be x.
∴ 10 × 50 + x = 11 × 52
⇒ 500 + x = 572
⇒ x = 572 – 500 = 72 runs
Aliter : Using Rule 18,
If in the group of N persons, a new person comes at the place of a person of 'T’ years, so that average age,
increases by 't’ years
Then, the age of the new person = T + N.t.
Here, T = 50, N = (10 + 1) = 11, t = 2
Required Runs = T + Nt
= 50 + 11 × 2 = 72
