    In a cricket match, the average score of 11 batsmen was

    42 runs. When 2 batsmen got out, the average score of the remaining batsmen dropped to 38 runs. Determine the average score of the two batsmen who got out.
    A 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 77 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total score of 11 batsmen = 11 X 42 = 462 runs Total score after 2 batsmen got out = 9 X 38 = 342 runs So, total score of the 2 batsmen who got out = 462 - 342 = 120 runs So, required average = 120 ÷ 2 = 60 runs
