Question

The pie chart given below shows the runs scored by a batsman from different strokes in ODI cricket. The values given in the diagram are runs scored as a % of total runs scored.Q. If the batsman scored 270 runs from playing straight drive alone, find the runs he scored from pull shot alone.

• A. 330
• B. 210
• C. 240
• D. 420

Answer 1

The correct option is B 210

Straight drive contributes to 18% of the total runs scored = 270
If 18% = 270
Runs scored from pull $=14\%=\frac{270}{18}\times 14=210$
