    A 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 53 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 68 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Runs scored by 4’s = 21 × 4 = 84 Total 6’s = 18, Each player except Pujara hit at least a 6. And Kohli hit the maximum 6’s. So 6’s by Kohli = 7. So runs scored by 6’s = 7 × 6 = 42 Total runs scored by 4’s and 6’s = 84 + 42 = 126 For these runs balls played are 21 + 7 = 28 …….….(i) So runs by 1’ s and 2’s = 222 – 126 = 96 1’s and 2’s runs ratio = 1 : 3 So 24 runs by 1’2 and 72 (2 × 36) by 2’s So balls for 1’s and 2’s = 24 + 36 = 60 ……………….(ii) So total balls = 28 + 60 = 88 So number of dot balls = 156 – 88 = 68
