Answer options

  1. 47%
  2. 46%
  3. 47\frac{46}{49}\%
  4. 46\frac{46}{49}\%

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 46\frac{46}{49}\%

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: D. 46\frac{46}{49}\% šŸ“š Explanation: Total runs from boundaries are (4 multiplied by 4) + (6 multiplied by 6) = 16 + 36 = 52. Runs from running between wickets = 98 - 52 = 46. The percentage is (46 / 98) multiplied by 100, which simplifies to 46 46/49 percent. This represents the part of the score made through physical running rather than power hitting.
