How many more runs should have Praveen scored in the 3^rd match in order to maintain an average of 100?

• A. 140
• B. 97
• C. 74
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 97

Let x be the additional runs Praveen should‘ve scored.
New Average $=\frac{(80+120+3+x)}{3}=100\Rightarrow 203+x=3\times 100\Rightarrow x=300-203=97$
