Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 145 runs Given: 12th innings score = 90 runs Formula used: Average runs = Total runs/Number of innings Calculation: Let, the 11 innings average is x. ⇒ Total runs of 11 innings = 11x ⇒ (11x + 90)/12 = (x - 5) ⇒ 11x + 90 = 12x - 60 ⇒ x = 150 runs ⇒ Current average = 150 - 5 runs ⇒ Current average = 145 runs ∴ The current average runs is 145 runs. |
