Correct answer: B
Solution:
Step 1: Runs scored in the first 10 overs = 3.2 × 10 = 32.
Step 2: Runs still needed = 282 − 32 = 250.
Step 3: Overs remaining = 40, so required run rate = 250 ÷ 40 = 6.25 runs per over.
Verification: 6.25 × 40 = 250, and 250 + 32 = 282, which meets the target.
Answer: 6.25 runs per over.
