Solution

The correct option is B 30
According to given data, runs scored by Naresh in first 4 matches =48×4=192
Average of 5 matches is 60, so total runs scored after 5 matches =60×5=300
Score of 5th match =300192=108
Now in 6th match, he scores 12 runs more than this, so, he scored 120 in the 6th match.
Hence total runs scored in 6 matches =300+120=420

Now average of last five matches is 78, so runs scored in last 5 matches =78×5=390
Runs scored in first match =420390=30
