In the first 43 overs of a cricket match, the run rate was 5 runs/over. Calculate the required run rate in the remaining 7 overs to reach the target of 285 runs?
- A10.6
- B11.2
- C10
- D9.4
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Calculate runs scored in the first 43 overs:
Runs Scored=Overs×Run Rate=43×5=215 runs
Calculate remaining runs needed:
Remaining Runs=Target−Runs Scored=285−215=70 runs
Calculate required run rate for the remaining 7 overs:
Required Run Rate=
Remaining Overs
Remaining Runs
=
7
70
=10 runs/over
Runs Scored=Overs×Run Rate=43×5=215 runs
Calculate remaining runs needed:
Remaining Runs=Target−Runs Scored=285−215=70 runs
Calculate required run rate for the remaining 7 overs:
Required Run Rate=
Remaining Overs
Remaining Runs
=
7
70
=10 runs/over
