  1. 88 Runs
  2. 78 Runs
  3. 68 Runs
  4. 58 Runs

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
The average runs of 9 innings would be ( 34 + 6 ) = 40 runs.
So, he needs ( 40 x 9 ) = 360 runs in 9 innings to make the average 40.
Right now in 8 innings he scored ( 34 x 8 ) = 272 runs.
So, he Required (360 – 272 ) = 88 more runs to make his average 40.

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Let the average money spent be Rs.X, Then
9X = 8 x 30 + (X + 20 )
9X = X + 260
8X = 260
X = 32.50.
Total money spent by all is: 9X = 9 x 32.50 = 292.50.

Sum of first and second number = ( 39 x 2 ) = 78
Sum of fourth and fifth number = ( 86 x 2 ) = 172
Therefore, the third number is = 319 – ( 78 + 172 )
= 319 – 250
= 69.
