Solution

The correct option is B 200
The team has scored 150 runs in 30 overs. So, they have scored 150÷30=5 runs per over on average.

If they maintain this run rate per over, then on the next 10 overs they will score 10×5=50 runs.

Hence, at the end of 40 overs their score will be 150+50=200 runs.
