The average score of 5 players of a cricket team is 55. It is also observed that 3 of these 5 players have an average score of 55. What will be the average score of the remaining two players?

Correct option is A

Given:

The average score of 5 players in a cricket team is 55.

The average score of 3 of these players is 55.

We need to find the average score of the remaining 2 players.

Formula Used:

Average = $$\frac{\text{Sum of all scores}}{\text{Number of players}}$$​​

Solution:

Sum of scores of 5 players = 55 × 5 = 275

Sum of scores of 3 players = 55 × 3 = 165

Sum of scores of 2 players = 275 - 165 = 110

Average score of 2 players = $$\frac{110}{2}$$​ = 55

Thus, the average score of the remaining two players is 55
