Solution

The correct option is D 50
Let the number of matches be n.
Total runs scored by Sachin, Sehwag and Dravid = 138n ----(1)
Total runs scored by Dravid, Sehwag and Dhoni = 129n ----(2)
(1) – (2) gives Total runs scored by Sachin – Total runs scored by Dhoni = 9n
Then, runs scored by Sachin = 41n+9n = 50n
Therefore, average of Sachin = 50
