Question

A Cricket player scored $180$ runs in the first match and $257$ runs in the second match. Find the number of runs he should score in the third match to that the overage of runs in the three matches be $230$.

Answer 1

The runs scored in First match $180$

The runs scored in second match $257$

Let the runs scord in Third match be $x$

The mean of the runs scored is $230$

and it is given by $\frac{180+257+x}{3}=230437+x=230\times 3x=690-437x=253$

So the runs cored by him is $253$
