    Question

    In a cricket match the captain of one of a team scored

    25 runs more than the average runs scored by the remaining 8 batsmen of that team who batted in the match. If the total runs scored by all the batsmen of that team were 250, 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 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the average runs scored by the remaining 8 batsmen be x. So, runs scored by the captain = x + 25 Total score of the team = 8x + x + 25 = 9x + 25  => 9x + 25 = 250  => x = 25 So, the score of the captain = 25 + 25 = 50
