A batsmen in his 12th innings makes a score of sixty five and thereby increase his average by 2 runs. What is his average after the 12th innings if he had never been "Not Out"?

In the terminology of the game, a batsman is out if he is playing the game. If a batsman "has never been Not Out", it means that he has played in all off the innings.


The answer is 43.

Let X be the average score after 12th innings ==> 12x=11(X-2)+65 X=43

Which game is this? How is "Not Out" relevant to the question?

In this Question Batsman Had Never Been "NOT Out " Means that "batsman always out".

The batsman is always out? That means he's out playing the game, or out of the game? Please clarify in your problem statement.

@Calvin Lin A batsman never "out of the game", he out while playing the game.

@Shubham Tomar I've added a sentence to explain what you mean. Can you review it and see if it's correct?
