Solution



Given:

    • Average run scored by Steve in past ‘n’ matches= 65.
    • In today’s match, he scored a century.
    • New average after he hit the century is 70 runs.

To find:
    • The value of n
.

Approach and Working:

Method-1

    • \(\frac{Sum\ of\ run\ in\ n\ matches}{n}= 65\)
      o Sum of runs in n matches= 65n

    • \(\frac{Sum\ of\ runs\ in\ n\ matches+100}{n+1}= 70\)
      o 65n+100= 70n+70
      o 5n= 50
      o n=6

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Answer: B

    e) 9

\(65n + 100 = 70(n + 1)\)

Or, \(65n + 100 = 70n + 70\)

Or, \(5n = 30\)

Or, n = 6 , Answer must be (B)

Equation is one way.
Another way is to think about the the impact 100 had on 65's which increased it to 70.
Since the new average is 70 , the excess score for the last match is 100-70 = 30.
We have 30 runs which we can distribute to the previous matches to bring it up to 70.
Since each score needs to be increased by 5 , we get 30/5 = 6

Total Increase in score of n matches is 5n
Total increase + new average = New score
5n + 70 = 100
n = 6
