      40. He scores 88 in the next inning, raising his average by 1.6. Find the total runs scored before the last inning.

      B 1140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1120 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let number of innings before this one be 'P'.

      Runs before = 40P

      (40P + 88) / (P + 1) = 41.6
      => 40P + 88 = 41.6P + 41.6
      => 1.6P = 46.4 => P = 29
      Total runs = 40 × 29 = 1160
