      Question

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

      27 runs more than the average runs scored by the remaining 7 batsmen of that team who batted in the match. If the total runs scored by all the batsmen of that team were 235, 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
      E 53 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the average runs scored by the remaining 7 batsmen be x. So, runs scored by the captain = x + 27 Total score of the team = 7x + x + 27 = 8x + 27Β  => 8x + 27 = 235 => x = 26 So, the score of the captain = 26 + 27 = 53
