      Question

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

      26 runs more than the average runs scored by the remaining 6 batsmen of that team who batted in the match. If the total runs scored by all the batsmen of that team were 236, how many runs did the captain score?
      A 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 56 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the average runs scored by the remaining 6 batsmen be x. So, runs scored by the captain = x + 26 Total score of the team = 6x + x + 26 = 7x + 26  => 7x + 26 = 236 => x = 30 So, the score of the captain = 30 + 26 = 56
