    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
