    Question

    Direction:  Study the following table carefully and answer the questions given below. In a five-match T20 series between AUSTRALIA and ENGLAND, a total of five batsmen, one all-rounder, and five bowlers played the matches from Australia. The following table shows the runs scored by different Australian batsmen, including the all-rounder, across the five matches. Only Marcus Stoinis was an all-rounder; the remaining were batsmen.

    In match-3, England set a target of 400 runs. If the

    ratio of runs scored by Australian bowlers to the runs scored by batsmen (including the all-rounder) was 1:6.5 and England won by 25 runs, what percentage of England’s total runs was contributed by their bowlers if they scored 20 more runs than Australian bowlers?
    A 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Runs scored by Australian batsmen (including all-rounder) = 20 + 90 + 30 + 60 + 50 + 40 = 290 Let runs scored by Australian bowlers = x. x / 290 = 1 / 6.5 x = 44.6 ≈ 45 Total runs by Australia = 290 + 45 = 335 England’s total score = 335 + 25 = 360 Runs scored by England’s bowlers = 45 + 20 = 65 Percentage contribution = (65 / 360) × 100 = 18%
