11 वा सामना खेळताना फलंदाज 26 धावा काढून बाद झाला व त्यामुळे या मोसमातील त्याच्या धावांची सरासरी 15 ते 16 अशी वाढली. या मोसमात स्वतःची सरासरी 20 पर्यंत नेण्यासाठी त्याने या डावात जितक्या धावा काढणे आवश्यक होते ती संख्या दाखवणारा पर्याय निवडा. While playing 11th match, a batsman is out for 26 runs, which raises his batting average for the season from 15 to 16. Select the number of runs that he should have scored in this inning to raise his average to 20 in this season.

1)176
2)200
3)220
4)70✓ Correct

Total runs after 10 matches = 10 * 15 = 150. Total runs after 11 matches with average 16 = 11 * 16 = 176. Runs scored in 11th match = 176 - 150 = 26 (verified). To make average 20 after 11 matches, total required runs = 11 * 20 = 220. Thus, he needed 220 - 150 = 70 runs in that innings.
