• B. 7
• C. 5 or 7
• D. Data inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5 or 7

How many goals scored =$5397\dots \dots \left(i\right)$
many more matches = $982\dots \dots \left(ii\right)$
he scored five = $163\dots \dots \left(iii\right)$
From (i) and (ii), many = 9..... (iv)
From (i) and (iii), scored = 3...........(v)
Using (iv) and (v) and (i), we get goals = 5 or 7
