Question : Direction: The table given below shows the statistics of the top 10 scores in IPL 2016. A few entries are missing in the table. Here INN, AVG and SR stand for innings played, batting average, and batting strike rate respectively. Based on the table answer the following question. (Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{balls faced}}\times $100) and AVG = $\frac{\text {Runs}}{\text {INN – NOT OUT}}$

Question : The value of $\frac{(157 \times 157)+(157 \times 133)+(133 \times 133)}{(157 \times 157 \times 157)-(133 \times 133 \times 133)}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{24}$
Option 2: $24$
Option 3: $290$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{290}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{24}$
Solution : Given: $\frac{(157 \times 157)+(157 \times 133)+(133 \times 133)}{(157 \times 157 \times 157)-(133 \times 133 \times 133)}$ Let $a=157$ and $b=133$ = $\frac{a^2+ab+b^2}{a^3-b^3}$ = $\frac{a^2+ab+b^2}{(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)}$ = $\frac{1}{(a-b)}$ Putting the values, we get: = $\frac{1}{157-133}$ = $\frac{1}{24}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{24}$.
