a cricket player whose bowling average was 24.85 runs per wicket , takes 5 wicket for 52 runs in a match . due to this his average decreases by 0.85 . what will be the number of wickets taken by him till the last match ?
"average = total runs / total wickets total runs after last match = 24.85 w + 52 total wickets after last match = w + 5 ( 24.85 w + 52 ) / ( w + 5 ) = 24.85 - 0.85 = 24 w = 80 so total wickets aftr last match = w + 5 = 85 answer : c"
divide(subtract(multiply(subtract(24.85, 0.85), 5), 52), 0.85)
