Correct Answer :

Option C

62

Solution :

The correct option is 62.


Step 1: Calculate total runs after 50 innings
The batsman's average score after 50 innings was 46.4.
Total runs after 50 innings = Number of innings × Average score

Total runs (50 innings)=50×46.4=2320


Step 2: Calculate the new average and total runs after 60 innings
After the 60th innings, his average score increased by 2.6.
New average score = 46.4 + 2.6 = 49

Total runs (60 innings)=60×49=2940


Step 3: Calculate the total runs scored in the last 10 innings
Runs scored in the last 10 innings = Total runs after 60 innings - Total runs after 50 innings

Runs in last 10 innings=2940-2320=620


Step 4: Calculate the average score in the last 10 innings
Average score in the last 10 innings = Total runs in last 10 innings / 10

Average score (last 10 innings)=62010=62


Thus, his average score in the last ten innings was 62.
