Q. A team of 5 players Ashwin, Rahul, Sachin, Virat and Rohit participated in a tournament and played four matches.
The following table gives partial information about their individual scores and the total runs scored by the team in each match.
Each column has two values missing. These are the runs scored by the two lowest scorers in that match.
None of the two missing values is more than 10% of the total runs scored in that match.| Runs scored | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 4 |
|---|
| Ashwin | | 100 | | 53 |
| Rahul | 88 | 65 | | 52 |
| Sachin | | | 110 | |
| Virat | 72 | 75 | 20 | 56 |
| Rohit | 60 | | 78 | |
| Total | 270 | 300 | 240 | 200 |
What is the maximum possible percentage contribution of Ashwin in the total runs scored in the four matches?- Published on 07 Jul 17a. 19.7%
b. 19.9%
c. 20.1%
d. 20.5%
ANSWER: 19.7%
None of the two missing values is more than 10% of the total runs scored in that match.
Maximum possible runs scored by Ashwin in Match-1 = 10% of 270 = 27
Maximum possible runs scored by Ashwin in Match-3 = 19
Note: Why is Ashwin’s score not 24? Because he has to score less than 3rd lowest scorer = 20
So, Maximum possible percentage contribution:
(27+100+19+53) / (270+300+240+200) x 100% = 199 / 1010 x 100% = 19.7%
