Question

India and Australia are playing the finals of World Cup T20 cricket match. India won the toss and decided to bat. At the end of 5 overs, India scored 24 runs with one wicket down. From there on, in every 5 overs, India scored \(50\%\) more runs than the previous 5 overs and lost two wickets. From the options, identify the correct graph that shows India’s final score.

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Given: India scored 24 runs in the first 5 overs with 1 wicket down. From the 6th over onwards, each set of 5 overs resulted in 50% more runs compared to the previous set of 5 overs, and the team lost 2 wickets after every 5 overs.

Let's calculate India's score at the end of 20 overs:

Overs	Runs Scored	Total Runs	Wickets Lost
1-5	24	24	1
6-10	\(24 \times 1.5 = 36\)	60	3
11-15	\(36 \times 1.5 = 54\)	114	5
16-20	\(54 \times 1.5 = 81\)	195	7

The final score is 195 runs with 7 wickets lost after 20 overs. The correct graph illustrating this is found in
