Question

Sachin scored $80$ and $120$ runs, respectively in the two innings of a cricket match. What would have been average score in innings?

• A. $80$
• B. $120$
• C. $200$
• D. $100$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $100$

Total runs scored $=80+120=200$.

Number of innings $=2$.

We know, Mean is given by,

$\text{Mean/Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of the elements}}{\text{Total number of elements}}$.

Therefore, Average $=\frac{80+120}{2}=\frac{200}{2}=100$.

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
