Question

A cricketer scored a total of 62 runs in 96 balls. He hits 3 sixes, 8 fours, 2 two and 8 singles. What percentage of the total runs came in:

(i)Sixes

(ii)Fours

(iii)Twos

(iv)Singles

Answer 1

Total score of a cricketer =62 runs

(i)Number of sixes=3

$\therefore$ Run From 3 sixes $=3\times 6=18$

Percentage $=\frac{18}{62}\times 100=29.03\%$

(ii)Number of fours=8

$\therefore$ Total Run from 8 fours$=4\times 8=32$

Percentage $=\frac{32}{62}\times 100=51.61\%$

(iii)Number of twos=2

Total score from 2 twos $=2\times 2=4$

$\therefore$ Percentage $=\frac{4}{62}\times 100=\frac{400}{62}=6.45\%$

(iv)Number of single run =8

$\therefore$ Percentage $=\frac{8}{62}\times 100=\frac{800}{62}=12.9\%$
