Answer»

The given details are,

Total number of runs scored by cricketer = 120

(i) 20% of Runs scored in 6’s = (20/100) × 120 = 24 runs

(ii) 30% of Runs scored in 4’s = (30/100) × 120 = 36 runs

(iii) 25% of Runs scored in 2’s = (25/100) × 120 = 30 runs

(iv) Runs scored in singles = 120 – (24+36+30)

= 120 – 90 = 30 runs

Percentage of shots scoring ones = (Runs came in singles/Total runs scored) × 100

= (30/120) × 100

= 25%
