Solution

The correct option is B 62
Let X be the number of matches played by Suresh till his last match

Then total score = 54 × X

After his last match, total score = 54 × X + 60 = 55 × (X + 1)

So, X = 5

Let N be the runs scored in the next match,

56 × (5 + 2) = N + 55 × (5 + 1)

⇒ 392 = N + 330

⇒ N = 62

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
