If the runs scored by E in last 3 matches of the tournament are not considered, his average runs scored in the tournament will decrease by 9. If the runs scored by E in the 26th and 27th match are below 128 and no two scores among these 3 scores are equal, What are the minimum possible runs scored by E in the 28th match?


A) 137

B) 135

C) 141

D) 120.31

E) 139

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Total runs scored by batsman E = 28 x 55

The strike rate of E = $\frac{Total runs scored}{Total runs faced}$ × 100

= $\frac{28\times55}{1280}\times100$ = 120.3125
