Question

Shekhar makes 96 runs in 6 overs while Nitish makes 102 runs in 6 overs. Pick the correct statement from the following:

• A. Shekhar's run rate is 16 runs per over.
• B. Nitish's run rate is 15 runs per over.
• C. Nitish's run rate is less than that of Shekhar's run rate.
• D. Shekhar's run rate is 26 runs per over.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Shekhar's run rate is 16 runs per over.

$\text{Shekhar's run rate =}\frac{96}{6}=16\text{runs per over}$

$\text{Nitish's run rate =}\frac{102}{6}=17\text{runs per over}$​​​​​

Hence, Nitish's run rate is greater than that of Shekhar.
