Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 100 Given: Dhoni scored an average in the first 3 match = 120 runs per match Dhoni scored an average in the last 4 match = 140 runs per match Average runs per match for all the five matches = 122 Formula Used: Average = (Total run)/Number of innings Calculation: Let the scores in the 5 exams be denoted by M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 Dhoni’s average score in the first 3 matches = 120 M1 + M2 + M3 = 120 × 3 = 360 ⇒ M1 + M2 + M3 = 360 ----(i) Average in last 4 match = 140 M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 = 140 × 4 ⇒ M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 = 560 ----(ii) Average of all matches = 122 × 5 ⇒ M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 = 610 ----(iii) Subtracting (ii) form (iii), we get ⇒ M1 = (610 – 560) = 50 Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get M4 + M5 – M1 = (560 – 360) ⇒ M4 + M5 = (200 + 50) = 250 Now, M1 + M4 + M5 = (50 + 250) = 300 Required average = 300 / 3 ⇒ Required average = 100 ∴ Dhoni’s average runs for the first match and the last two matches are 100. |
