Question 1
A batsman's average after 12 innings is 36. In the 13th inning he scores 87. What is his new average?
  • 39
  • 39.5
  • 40✔️
  • 40.5
Correct Answer Explanation
Total runs after 12 innings \(= 12 \times 36 = 432\). After 13th inning \(= 432 + 87 = 519\). New average \(= \dfrac{519}{13} = 39.92 \approx 40\).
