Question

In last 10 cricket matches, the total runs you score = 499 whereas the average runs scored by your friend was 5.99 less than yours. What was your friend's average?

• A. 42.69
• B. 42.96
• C. 43.96
• D. 43.69

Answer 1

The correct option is A

42.69

The average runs scored by you = $\frac{499}{10}$ = 49.9 = 49.90

The Friend's average was 5.99 less than yours

$\therefore$ Your Friend's average = 49.90 - 5.99 = 43.91
