Here , In a 20 over match, the required run rate to win = 7.2
Total runs = 20 × 7.2 = 144
Total runs in 15 overs = 15 × 6 = 90
Runs to be scored in the next 5 overs = 144 – 90 = 54Correct Option: C

Let the average for first 12 innings is y
According to question ,
⇒ 12y + 96 = (y + 5) x 13
⇒ 13y - 12y = 96 - 65
⇒ y = 31Correct Option: C

Required runs = 60 + 11 × 2 = 82 runs
Second method to solve this question with the help of given formula :
Here, T = 60, N = (10 + 1) t = 62 – 60 = 2Correct Option: B
