Question : Direction: The table given below shows the statistics of the top 10 scores in IPL 2016. A few entries are missing in the table. Here INN, AVG and SR stand for innings played, batting average, and batting strike rate respectively. Based on the table answer the following question. (Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{balls faced}}\times $100) and AVG = $\frac{\text {Runs}}{\text {INN – NOT OUT}}$
How many total balls were faced by David Warner?
Option 1: 331
Option 2: 364
Option 3: 423
Option 4: 286
Correct Answer: 364
Solution : As per the table: Total runs scored by Warner = 567 Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Runs}}{\text{Ball faced}}\times100$ ⇒ 155.77 = $\frac{567}{\text{Ball faced}}\times100$ ⇒ Ball faced = $\frac{567×100}{155.77}$ = 363.998 $\approx$ 364 Hence, the correct answer is 364.
Question : An article, which is marked Rs. 650, is sold for Rs. 572. The discount given is:
Option 1: 12%
Option 2: 13%
Option 3: 21%
Option 4: 26%
Correct Answer: 12%
Solution : Marked price = Rs. 650 Selling price = Rs. 572 Discount = 650 – 572 = 78 $\therefore$ Discount percentage $=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}}\times 100=\frac{78}{650}×100 = 12\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 12%.
Question : The value of $\frac{(157 \times 157)+(157 \times 133)+(133 \times 133)}{(157 \times 157 \times 157)-(133 \times 133 \times 133)}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{24}$
Option 2: $24$
Option 3: $290$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{290}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{24}$
Solution : Given: $\frac{(157 \times 157)+(157 \times 133)+(133 \times 133)}{(157 \times 157 \times 157)-(133 \times 133 \times 133)}$ Let $a=157$ and $b=133$ = $\frac{a^2+ab+b^2}{a^3-b^3}$ = $\frac{a^2+ab+b^2}{(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)}$ = $\frac{1}{(a-b)}$ Putting the values, we get: = $\frac{1}{157-133}$ = $\frac{1}{24}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{24}$.
