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.
