The average runs of a player is 32 after 10 innings. How many runs must he score in the next innings to increase his average by 6?

1. 6
2. 38
3. 40
4. 98

Correct answer: 98

Solution

Current total runs = 10 × 32 = 320. To increase the average by 6, the new average must be 38 after 11 innings, so required total = 11 × 38 = 418. Therefore, runs needed in the next innings = 418 − 320 = 98.
