Question : The following table displays the number of runs scored and balls played by five batsmen.
Batsman | No.of runs scored | No.of balls played |
P | 70 | 25 |
Q | 80 | 60 |
R | 90 | 50 |
S | 110 | 160 |
T | 40 | 40 |
When calculating a batsman's strike rate, divide the number of runs scored by the number of balls played and multiply the result by 100.
Which player has the highest strike rate?
Option 1: P
Option 2: Q
Option 3: S
Option 4: R
Correct Answer: P
Solution :
Using the formula
Strike rate = $\frac{\text{Number of runs scored}}{\text{Number of balls played}}$ × 100
According to the question
Strike Rate for P = $\frac{70}{25}$×100 = 280
Strike Rate for Q = $\frac{80}{60}$×100 = 133.33
Strike Rate for R = $\frac{90}{50}$×100 = 180
Strike Rate for S = $\frac{110}{160}$×100 = 68.75
Strike Rate for T = $\frac{40}{40}$×100 = 100
P has the highest strike rate
Hence, the correct answer is P
