    Solution

    Runs scored by batsmen (including all-rounder): Match-2: 45 + 60 + 70 + 80 + 35 + 20 = 310 Match-3: 20 + 90 + 30 + 60 + 50 + 40 = 290 Match-4: 110 + 25 + 45 + 30 + 20 + 50 = 280 Match-5: 15 + 40 + 55 + 65 + 10 + 70 = 255 Adding the maximum of 35 runs by bowlers, possible total scores are: Match-2: 310 + 35 = 345 Match-3: 290 + 35 = 325 Match-4: 280 + 35 = 315 Match-5: 255 + 35 = 290 A score of 360 is not possible.
