A batsman scored the following runs in the last 5 innings. Find his score in the 4th innings if the average score is 43.

1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th
92	53	35	x	27

Correct option is D

Given:

1st innings score = 92

2nd innings score = 53

3rd innings score = 35

5th innings score = 27

Average score of 5 innings = 43

Solution:

Let the score in the 4th innings be x 

Total score for 5 innings = 43 $$\times$$ 5 = 215

​Sum of the scores = 92+ 53+ 35 + x+27 = 215

Solving for x, 

92+ 53+ 35 + x+27 = 215

207 + x = 215 

x = 215 -207 

x = 8

The score in the 4th innings is 8.

Thus, correct option is, (d)
