a cricket player whose bowling average was 21.5 runs per wicket , takes 5 wicket for 52 runs in a match . due to this his average decreases by 0.5 . what will be the number of wickets taken by him till the last match ?
"average = total runs / total wickets total runs after last match = 21.5 w + 52 total wickets after last match = w + 5 ( 21.5 w + 52 ) / ( w + 5 ) = 21.5 - 0.5 = 21 w = 106 so total wickets aftr last match = w + 5 = 111 answer : c"
divide(subtract(multiply(subtract(21.5, 0.5), 5), 52), 0.5)
