Question

In a 50 over game, the run rate in the first 10 overs was only 3.9. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach a target of 289 runs?

• A. 6
• B. 6.25
• C. 7
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

6.25

Required run rate = $\frac{289–(3.9\times 10)}{40}$ = $\frac{250}{40}$ = 6.25.
