Q1576.A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 1. Find his average after the 17th inning?

Medium
A 33
B 35
C 37
D 39
Percentage, Ratio & Average PPSC

Correct Answer: D

Let average after 17th inning be x. Average before was x - 1. Sum of 16 innings = 16(x - 1). 16(x - 1) + 87 = 17x => 16x - 16 + 87 = 17x => x = 71? Wait, let's recalculate: 16(x - 1) + 87 = 17x => 16x - 16 + 87 = 17x => x = 71. Wait, the source says 'average after 17th inning is 16(x - 3) + 87 = 17x => x = 39.' Ah! If the average increases by 3, but the question text says 'increases his average by 1' and then says x = 39. Wait, if average increases by 3, then 16(x - 3) + 87 = 17x => 17x - 16x = 87 - 48 = 39. So there is a typo in the question's text 'increases his average by 1' where it actually should be 3, or the answer 39 corresponds to the official key.
