rupees were turned into five-paise coins and the five-paise coins into rupees, he
would have Rs.5.70 more. If the rupees were turned into fifty-paise coins and the

DIRECTIONS for questions 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
BA = (r1 + r2)/ n1

To better assess a batsman's accomplishments, the ICC is considering two other measures MBA 1
and MBA2 defined as follows:
MBA1 = r1 / n1 + n2 / n1 + max [0, (r2 / n2 - r1 / n1)]
MBA2 = (r1 + r2 )/ (n1 + n2 )
Q. Based on the information provided which of the following is true?
1. MBA1 BA MBA2
2. BA MBA2 MBA1
3. MBA2 BA MBA1
4. None of these
Q. An experienced cricketer with no incomplete innings has a BA of 50. The next time he bats,

1. BA and MBA1 will both increase
2. BA well increase and MBA2 will decrease
3. BA will increase and not enough data is available to assess change in MBA 1 and MBA2
4. None of these
