The average of runs of a cricket player in 10 innings was 32. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to increase his average of runs by 4?
Answer: 76
Explanation
The player's average runs in 10 innings is 32, so the total runs scored is: 10 x 32 = 320 runs.
To increase the average by 4, the new average will be: 32 + 4 = 36 runs.
Since the player has played 11 innings now (10 previous + 1 next), the total runs required to achieve the new average is: 11 x 36 = 396 runs.
To find out how many runs the player needs to score in the next innings, subtract the runs already scored from the total runs required: 396 - 320 = 76 runs.
So, the correct answer is: 76
