The team which failed to make it to the finals, would have made it to the finals if it had won in _____ overs in the last match it played
C does not make it to the finals (Refer answer for 1st question of this caselet). Its last match is against A. this is the 6th match. C’s Net RRD lags that of A by 0.40. hence, in the final match; run rate of C should exceed that of A by ≥ 0.41.
In that match, A has a run rate of 6.12. C should have a run rate of 6.52or more. Let the number of overs required to achieve this run rate be x.
307/x=6.52, giving x= 47.08 overs. This is approximately 47 overs. Hence, if C had won at 47 overs or earlier, it could have qualified for the finals. Answer is option (b)
