Question

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

• A. Sixes
• B. Fours
• C. Twos
• D. Singles

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Fours

We have,

Total runs $=62$

Total balls $=96$

Hits,

Sixes $=3$

Fours $=8$

Twos $=2$

Singles $=8$

Part $\left(1\right)$ :-

Total runs came in sixes $=6\times 3=18$ runs.

Percentage of runs came in sixes $=\frac{totalrunsinsix\times 100}{totalrunscore}$

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

Part $\left(2\right)$:-

Total runs came in fours $=8\times 4=32$ runs.

Percentage of runs came in fours $=\frac{totalrunsinfour}{totalrunscored}\times 100$

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

Part $\left(3\right)$:-

Total runs came in twos $=2\times 3=4$ runs.

Percentage of runs came in twos $=\frac{totalrunsintwos}{totalrunsscored}\times 100$

$=\frac{2}{62}\times 100=6.45\%$

Part $\left(4\right)$:-

Total runs came in singles $=1\times 8=8$ runs.

Percentage of runs came in singles $=\frac{totalrunsinsingle}{totalrunsscored}\times 100$

$=\frac{8\times 100}{62}=12.90\%$

Hence, this is the answer,
