Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 9
Solution:
Let the total number of matches after the final be x.
Total runs after the final = 54 × x. Total runs before the final = 51 × (x − 1).
Runs scored in the final = 54x − 51(x − 1). Set this equal to 78 and solve: 54x − 51(x − 1) = 78 ⇒ 54x − 51x + 51 = 78 ⇒ 3x + 51 = 78 ⇒ 3x = 27 ⇒ x = 9.
Therefore the total number of matches played in the season is 9.
