Calculating Combined Average Runs

The problem requires finding the overall average runs scored by a batsman across 33 matches.

We are given:

  • Average runs in the first 23 matches = 43 runs.
  • Average runs in the next 10 matches = 16 runs.
  • Total number of matches = 33.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Calculate the total runs scored in the first 23 matches.

    Total Runs (first 23 matches) = Number of matches $\times$ Average runs

    Total Runs = $23 \times 43 = 989$ runs.

  2. Calculate the total runs scored in the next 10 matches.

    Total Runs (next 10 matches) = Number of matches $\times$ Average runs

    Total Runs = $10 \times 16 = 160$ runs.

  3. Calculate the total runs scored in all 33 matches.

    Overall Total Runs = Total Runs (first 23) + Total Runs (next 10)

    Overall Total Runs = $989 + 160 = 1149$ runs.

  4. Calculate the combined average runs scored in all 33 matches.

    Combined Average = $\frac{\text{Overall Total Runs}}{\text{Total Number of Matches}}$

    Combined Average = $\frac{1149}{33}$

    Combined Average $\approx 34.8181...$ runs.

  5. Round the combined average to two decimal places.

    Rounded Average = $34.82$ runs.

Final Answer

The average runs scored by the batsman in all 33 matches, rounded to two decimal places, is 34.82.
