      Solution

      ATQ;

      Let the highest and lowest runs scored by Rohit Sharma be ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively.

      Total runs scored by him in 150 innings = 150 × 80 = 12000

      Runs scored by him in 148 innings = (80 - 2) × 148 = 78 × 148 = 11544

      So, x + y = 12000 – 11544 = 456

      And, x – y = 200

      So, x = (456 + 200)/2 = 328
