7. | | A batsman scored an average of 55 runs in the first 6 tests. If the first test is not counted and the seventh is counted then his average score goes up to 57. If the score in the first test was 50 runs, find his score in the seventh test? | | (a)60 | | (b)62 | | (c)64 | | (d)66 |
|
Answer is: BTotal score in the first six tests = 6 x 55 = 330
Total score in the last six tests = 6 x 57 = 342
Score in all seven tests = (Total score in the last six tests + score in the 1st test).
Score in all seven tests = 342 + 50 = 392.
∴ score in the 7th test = (Total score in all 7 tests - Total score in first 6 tests)
∴ score in the 7th test = 392 - 330 = 62 run.
