Question

    In a cricket match the captain of one of a team scored

    26 runs more than the average runs scored by the remaining 10 batsmen of that team who batted in the match. If the total runs scored by all the batsmen of that team were 235, how many runs did the captain score?
    A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 55 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the average runs scored by the remaining 10 batsmen be x. So, runs scored by the captain = x + 26 Total score of the team = 10x + x + 26 = 11x + 26 => 11x + 26 = 235 => x = 19 So, the score of the captain = 19 + 26 = 45
