Solution



Given
    • The average of Sachin after 80 one day matches is 55.
    • Sachin’s target is to increase his average to 57 after the next one day match.

To find
    • How much should Sachin score in next match.

Approach and Working out
    • 55*80 +x/81 = 57
    • 55*80 +x =57*81
    • x = 57*81 – 55*80
    • =57*(80+1) -55*80
    • =160 +57 =217

Thus, option E is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Option E
