    A 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the number of balls faced by Rohit Sharma until his strike rate is 125 be 'k'. Runs scored by Rohit┬а in 'k' balls = (125k/100) = (5k/4) New strike rate = 125 + 35 = 160 So, 160 = [{(5k/4) + 28} ├╖ {k + 14}] X 100 Or, 160 X (k + 14) = 25 X (5k + 112) Or, 32 X (k + 14) = 5 X (5k + 112) Or, 32k + 448 = 25k + 560 Or, 7k = 112 So, 'k' = 16 Therefore, number of balls faced by Rohit┬а now = K + 14 = 16 + 14 = 30
