Read the table carefully and answer the following questions.

Players	Matches played	Matches Won
A	18	12
B	36	28
C	24	20
D	30	8

Find the average number of matches won by A and B.
The table given below shows the total number of matches played by four players and number of matches won by them.

The correct answer is 20.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

From the given table, we can find the number of matches won by each player:

• Matches won by Player A = 12
• Matches won by Player B = 28

Step 1: Calculate the total number of matches won by Player A and Player B combined.

$\text{Total matches won}=12+28=40$

Step 2: Calculate the average number of matches won by A and B.

To find the average, divide the total number of matches won by the number of players (which is 2):

$\text{Average}=\frac{40}{2}=20$

Thus, the average number of matches won by A and B is 20.
