Question : The average run rate of a cricket team during the first 20 overs is 4.5. What should be the asking rate per over for the next 30 overs, if it has to chase a target of 282 runs in total?
Option 1: 6.3
Option 2: 6.0
Option 3: 6.4
Option 4: 6.8
Correct Answer: 6.4
Solution :
Total runs required in 50 overs = 282
Average of runs in 20 overs = 4.5
⇒ Total runs scored in first 20 overs = 4.5 × 20 = 90
So, runs needed in the remaining 30 overs = 282 – 90 = 192
$\therefore$ Asking rate in the last 30 overs = $\frac{192}{30}$ = 6.4 per over
Hence, the correct answer is 6.4.
