A cricketer whose bowling average is 24.85 runs per wicket, takes 5 wickets for 52 runs and thereby decreases his average by 0.85. The number of wickets taken by him till last match was:1). 642). 723). 804). 96

Answer»

Let initial wickets taken be X

Total runs = 24.85x

New average = 24.85 - 0.85 = 24

Total wickets = x + 5

Total runs = 24(x + 5)

24(x + 5) - 24.85x = 52 ⇒ 80

Total initial wickets taken = 80
