    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 = 54

    Correct Option: C

    Here , In a 20 over match, the required run rate to win = 7.2

    Total runs in 15 overs = 15 × 6 = 90
    Runs to be scored in the next 5 overs = 144 – 90 = 54
    ∴ Required run-rate = 54 ÷ 5 = 10.8

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

    Correct 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 = 31
    ∴ Average after 13th inning = (31 + 5)= 36

    Given that , The mean score of a cricketer in 10 innings = 60 runs
    The mean score of a cricketer in eleventh innings = 62 runs
    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 = 2

    Correct Option: B

    Given that , The mean score of a cricketer in 10 innings = 60 runs
    The mean score of a cricketer in eleventh innings = 62 runs
    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 = 2
    Required Runs = T + Nt
    Required Runs = 60 + 11 × 2 = 82
