Question:
A batsman scored 160 runs which includes 15 boundaries and 6 sixes. What percentage of his total score did he make by running between the wickets?
A33 ⅓ %
B40%
C60%
D50%
Answer:
B. 40%
Explanation:
To determine the percentage of the batsman's total score made by running between the wickets, let's break down the problem step by step:
Given:
The batsman scored 160 runs in total.
The batsman hit 15 boundaries (4 runs each) and 6 sixes (6 runs each).
Step 1: Calculate the total runs made by boundaries and sixes:
Runs from boundaries: 15×4 = 60 runs.
Runs from sixes: 6×6= 36 runs.
So, the total runs from boundaries and sixes is:
60 + 36 = 96 runs
Step 2: Calculate the runs made by running:
The batsman's total score is 160 runs. The runs made by running will be the total runs minus the runs made from boundaries and sixes:
160−96=64 runs.
Step 3: Calculate the percentage of total runs made by running:
The percentage of runs made by running is:
64/160×100=40%.
Conclusion:
The batsman made 40% of his total score by running between the wickets.
