      Question

      The average runs of a bowler increased by 4 runs when he

      took 144 wickets in his 40th match. Find the average wickets taken by the bowler after 40 matches.

      B 10 wickets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 wickets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15 wickets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the average wickets taken by the bowler in 39 matches be ‘x’ So according to the question: 39x + 144 = 40 × (x + 4) 39x + 144 = 40x + 160 x = 144 - 160 x = 16 So, the average wickets taken by the bowler after 40 matches = 16 + 4 = 20 wickets
