3
0
0
runs in
5
0
overs against Pakistan in cricket World Cup
2
0
1
5
.Now , to win the match , Pakistan had to do
3
0
1
runs in
5
0
overs. However , Pakistan did not manage to catch upto
3
0
1
runs but all their players were out when they made
2
2
4
runs. At that time ,
3
overs were still remaining. Let
R
1
be the required run-rate for Pakistan to win the match by scoring the runs to win the match runs in 3 overs,
R
2
was their current run-rate .
If R 1 − R 2 can be expressed as b a where , a , b are co-prime positive integers , Find a + b
D e t a i l s A n d A s s u m p t i o n s : R u n R a t e = O v e r s , c o n s u m e d N u m b e r , o f , r u n s , m a d e

@Mehul Arora – Cricket game is played in very less countries.Many people are not familiar with cricket , its rules , how it is played , etc. hence points for these are increasing due to lack of experience , Like we Indians have.

@Nihar Mahajan – why we indians have experience as it shows in this world cup 2015
hope india reach finals
Let R 1 be the required run-rate for Pakistan to win the match by scoring 301 runs after 47 overs. So R 1 =301/47. Please not the words ""after 74 over". I think mine is the correct interpretations!!

Actually in a one day cricket game you get 50 overs to chase the runs set up by the oppositions,but Pakistan didn't have 2 batsmen left to bat,that's why their innings ended before finishing their all whole 50 overs

The point is the rate has to be over 47 overs. R 1 is based on 47 over not 3 overs left. The wordings are "Let R 1 be the required run-rate for Pakistan to win the match by scoring 301 runs after 4 7 overs. ""

@Niranjan Khanderia – So , you think that the phrase 'after 47 overs'must be removed? If so , I apologize for the misconceptions and would edit the solution.Thanks

@Nihar Mahajan – No. I think t he phrase is OK. The answer should be based on it. That is my view. Better moderator may advice.
@Nihar Mahajan – Yes the language and phrasing of the problem was not clear until I saw the solution.. it should have been like " let R1 be the run rate required to win the match in the remaining 3 overs assuming Pakistan had wickets in hand"
@Niranjan Khanderia – Oh,if it was"Let R1 be the 77 runs Pakistan needs to score from the remaining 3 overs" would've been better
i will be waiting for a s. Africa vs India problem next weekend
Pak had to make 3 0 1 − 2 2 4 = 7 7 runs in 3 overs to win the match.
Hence , R 1 = 3 7 7
Pak had made 2 2 4 runs in 4 7 overs.
Hence , R 2 = 4 7 2 2 4
Thus , R 1 − R 2 = 3 7 7 − 4 7 2 2 4 = 4 7 × 3 7 7 × 4 7 − 2 2 4 × 3 = 1 4 1 3 6 1 9 − 6 7 2 = 1 4 1 2 9 4 7
Therefore, a + b = 2 9 4 7 + 1 4 1 = 3 0 8 8
