Q.7 The batting average (BA) of a test batsman is computed from runs scored and innings played— completed innings and incomplete innings (not out) in the following manner: r1 = number of runs scored in completed innings n1 = number of completed innings r2 = number of runs scored in incomplete innings n2 = number of incomplete innings. (r1 + r2 ) BA = n1 To better assess a batsman’s accomplishments, the ICC is considering two other measures MBA1 and MBA2 defined as follows: MBA1 = r1 + n2 + max [0, (r2 ? r1) ] n1 n1 n2 n1 (r1 + r2 ) MBA2 = (n1 + n2 ) Based on the information provided which of the following is true?
Q.8 The batting average (BA) of a test batsman is computed from runs scored and innings played— completed innings and incomplete innings (not out) in the following manner: r1 = number of runs scored in completed innings n1 = number of completed innings r2 = number of runs scored in incomplete innings n2 = number of incomplete innings. (r1 + r2 ) BA = n1 To better assess a batsman’s accomplishments, the ICC is considering two other measures MBA1 and MBA2 defined as follows: MBA1 = r1 + n2 + max [0, (r2 ? r1) ] n1 n1 n2 n1 (r1 + r2 ) MBA2 = (n1 + n2 ) An experienced cricketer with no incomplete innings has a BA of 50.The next time he bats, the innings is incomplete and he scores 45 runs.
