    Solution

    ATQ;

    Let highest and lowest runs scored by the Virat Kohli is ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively.

    Total runs scored by him in 122 innings = 122 × 74 = 9028

    Runs scored by him in 120 innings = 72.75 × 120 = 8730

    So, x + y = 9028 – 8730 = 298

    And, x – y = 186

    So, x = (298 + 186)/2 = 242
