    Solution

    ATQ;

    Let the highest and lowest runs scored by KL Rahul be ‘x’ and ‘y’ respectively.

    Total runs scored by him in 130 innings = 130 × 75 = 9750

    Runs scored by him in 128 innings = (75 - 2) × 128 = 73 × 128 = 9344

    So, x + y = 9750 – 9344 = 406

    And, x – y = 170

    So, x = (406 + 170)/2 = 288
