Find the difference between the strike rate (runs conceded per wicket) of the bowler in ODI matches and that in Test matches.
- 4.75
- 5
- 5.25
- 4
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 5
Runs per wicket in ODIs is 2889 / 107 = 27, and in Tests it is 3616 / 113 = 32. The difference is 32 - 27 = 5. Values such as 4.75 or 5.25 can only come from rounding slips, since both divisions are exact.
