A batsman scores 26 runs and increases his average from 14 to 15. Find the runs to be made if he wants top increasing the average to 19 in the same match ?
Choose the correct answer:	A) 12	B) 18	C) 25	D) 74	E) 88

Rationale: number of runs scored more to increase the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12 to raise the average by one ( from 14 to 15 ) , he scored 12 more than the existing average . therefore , to raise the average by five ( from 14 to 19 ) , he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average . thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74 . answer d
Answer: D
