35.5
37.5
38.5
40.5

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
= \frac {7(1+2+3+...+10)}{10}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac {7(10(10+1))}{10 \times 2}

\begin{aligned}
= \frac {7(110)}{10 \times 2} = 38.5
\end{aligned}

1. The average score of a cricketer for ten matches is 38.9 runs. If the average for first six matches is 42, then average for last four matches is

33.25
32.25

\end{aligned}

3. A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th match and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th match

Answer: Option D
