    Solution

    Let the 25 innings score = x given -highest and lowest score difference = 157 H-L = 157---(1) total score of 25 innings - x/25=43 x =1075 Average score of 27 innings = 48 (x+ H+L)/27 = 48 put the value of x so, H + L = (48×27)-1075 = 1296-1075 H+L=221-----(2)  Eq (1) and (2)  2H = 157+221 =378 highest =H =189runs
