  2. B is better
  3. A and B are same
  4. None of the above

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: A and B are same

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C. A and B are same šŸ“š Explanation: A's final average is (28 + 35) runs divided by (8 + 1) wickets, which is 63 / 9 = 7. B's final average is (28 + 56) runs divided by (8 + 4) wickets, which is 84 / 12 = 7. Since both bowlers ended up with an average of exactly 7 runs per wicket, their performance is identical. This shows that their efficiency in taking wickets remained the same.
