    A cricketer had a certain average of runs for his 64 innings. In his 65th innings, he is bowled out for no score on his part. This brings down his average by 2 runs. His new average of runs is

    A) 130                              

    B) 128

    C) 70                                

    D) 68

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the cricketer's average of runs for his 64 innings be x runs. \[\therefore \] Total number of runs in 64 innings = 64x According to the question,             \[\frac{64x+0}{65}=x-2\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[64x=65x-130\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=130\] \[\therefore \]      New average of runs \[=x-2\]             \[=130-2=128\]
