Question

Runs scored by a batsman in an over are 0, 0, 2, 4, 0, 6. What would be his run rate in that over?

• A. 2 runs per ball
• B. 3 runs per ball
• C. 2.5 runs per ball
• D. 1.75 runs per ball

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2 runs per ball

Average= $\frac{\text{Sum of terms}}{\text{Number of terms}}$

Average= $\frac{0+0+2+4+0+6}{6}$

Average= $\frac{12}{6}$ = 2

$\therefore$ Run rate is 2 runs per ball.
