a batsman makes a score of 90 runs in the 17 th inning and thus increases his averages by 3 . what is his average after 17 th inning ?
"let the average after 17 innings = x total runs scored in 17 innings = 17 x average after 16 innings = ( x - 3 ) total runs scored in 16 innings = 16 ( x - 3 ) total runs scored in 16 innings + 90 = total runs scored in 17 innings = > 16 ( x - 3 ) + 90 = 17 x = > 16 x - 48 + 90 = 17 x = > x = 42 answer is e ."
add(subtract(90, multiply(17, 3)), 3)
