Question

In a cricket match the captain of one of a team scored 23 runs more than the average runs scored by the remaining 9 batsmen of that team who batted in the match. If the total runs scored by all the batsmen of that team were 223, how many runs did the captain score?

A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 46 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 43 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the average runs scored by the remaining 9 batsmen be x. So, runs scored by the captain = x + 23 Total score of the team = 9x + x + 23 = 10x + 23  => 10x + 23 = 223  => x = 20 So, the score of the captain = 20 + 23 = 43
