    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 + 27  => 8x + 27 = 235 => x = 26 So, the score of the captain = 26 + 27 = 53
