The batsman scores 97 runs in the 15th inning.
This increases his average by 5 runs.
Formula used:
Average = Total runs / Number of innings
Solution:
Let x be the batsman's average after 14 innings.
We know that the total runs scored by the batsman in 14 innings is 14x.
According to the question:
14x + 97 = 15(x + 5)
14x + 97 = 15x + 75
x = 22
Average after 15th innings = x + 22 = 5 + 22 = 27
∴ Option 3 is the correct answer.
