    A batsman had an average of 39 runs in 35 innings. In

    his next 5 innings, he scored 100, 85, 90, 80, and 60. What is his updated average?
    A 25.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15.7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 34.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Total runs in 35 innings = 39 × 35 = 1365

    Total of next 5 innings = 100 + 85 + 90 + 80 + 60 = 415

    Required average = (1365 + 415) ÷ (35 + 5)

    = 1780 ÷ 40

    = 44.5
