Consider the following Table: +--------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | Player | Runs scored in the First Inn. | Balls faced in the First Inn. | Runs scored in the Second Inn. | Balls faced in the Second Inn. | +--------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ | A | 61 | 99 | 14 | 76 | | B | 05 | 12 | 50 | 85 | | C | 15 | 75 | 20 | 50 | | D | 13 | 55 | 12 | 50 | +--------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------------+ Who is the fastest run scorer in the Test Match?
- AA
- BBCorrect
- CC
- DD
Explanation
To determine the fastest run scorer, we need to calculate the strike rate for each player. Strike rate is calculated as (Total Runs / Total Balls Faced) * 100.
Player A: Total Runs = 61 + 14 = 75 Total Balls = 99 + 76 = 175 Strike Rate A = (75 / 175) * 100 approx 42.86
Player B: Total Runs = 05 + 50 = 55 Total Balls = 12 + 85 = 97 Strike Rate B = (55 / 97) * 100 approx 56.70
Player C: Total Runs = 15 + 20 = 35 Total Balls = 75 + 50 = 125 Strike Rate C = (35 / 125) * 100 = 28.00
Player D: Total Runs = 13 + 12 = 25 Total Balls = 55 + 50 = 105 Strike Rate D = (25 / 105) * 100 approx 23.81
Comparing the strike rates: A: 42.86 B: 56.70 C: 28.00 D: 23.81
Player B has the highest strike rate (56.70), indicating they scored runs at the fastest pace.
The final answer is B.
