    50 runs. His highest score exceeds his lowest by 172 runs. If the two are excluded, the average of the remaining 38 innings is 48runs. Find the highest score of the player?
    A 176 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 175 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 174 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 184 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the highest score be x Then, lowest score = x-172 Then, (50 × 40) - [x + (x - 172)] = 38 × 48 2x = 2000 + 172 - 1824 2x = 348 ∴ x = 174
