    Sachin Tendulkar's average runs over 40 innings was 52.

    During his subsequent four innings, he scored 55, 42, 0, and 60 runs. To increase his average to 53 after the next inning, how many runs must he score?
    A 148 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 136 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of the runs scored by Sachin in 40 innings = 40 X 52 = 2,080 Sum of his score in next four innings = 55 + 42 + 0 + 60 = 157 So, required runs = 45 X (52 + 1) - 2,080 - 157 = 148
