Correct answer: B
Step 1: Compute runs from boundaries and sixes.
Runs from 3 boundaries = 3 × 4 = 12.
Runs from 8 sixes = 8 × 6 = 48.
Total from boundaries and sixes = 12 + 48 = 60.
Runs made by running between the wickets = Total score − runs from boundaries and sixes = 110 − 60 = 50.
Fraction of total score from running = 50/110 = 5/11.
Percentage = (5/11) × 100 = 500/11 = 45 5/11% (that is, 45 5/11%).
Answer: 45 5/11% of the total score was made by running between the wickets.
