The batsman has an average of 32 in 50 innings. His scores
in the next 5 innings are 40, 30, 35, 45, and 50. Find his new batting average.Solution
ATQ,
Total runs in 50 innings = 32 × 50 = 1600
Runs in next 5 innings = 40 + 30 + 35 + 45 + 50 = 200
Required average = (1600 + 200) ÷ (50 + 5)
= 1800 ÷ 55
= 32.73
