A cricketer has a certain average for 10 innings. In the eleventh inning, he scored 108 runs, there by increasing his average by 6 runs. His new average is_____________?

A. 48 runs
B. 52 runs
C. 55 runs
D. 60 runs
Explanation:
Let average for 10 innings be x. Then,
(10x + 108)/11 = x + 6
= 11x + 66 = 10x + 108
= x = 42.
New average = (x + 6) = 48 runs
