    Solution

    ATQ, Runs scored by Virat Kohli in 'b' balls = (120b/100) = (6b/5) New strike rate = 120 + 60 = 180 ATQ, 180 = [{(6b/5) + 39} Ă· {b + 15}] X 100 Or, 180 X (b + 15) = 20 X (6b + 195) Or, 9 X (b + 15) = 6b + 195 Or, 9b + 135 = 6b + 195 Or, 3b = 60 So, 'b' = 20 Therefore, number of balls faced by batsman = 'b' + 15 = 20 + 15 = 35
