SSC CHSL 6th June 2022 Shift-2

- The batsman has played 10 innings before the 11th. Let his average before the 11th inning be \( x \).

- Total runs scored in 10 innings = \( 10x \).

- After scoring 88 runs in the 11th inning, his new total runs = \( 10x + 88 \).

- New average after 11th inning is \( x + 4 \).

- Therefore, \(\frac{10x + 88}{11} = x + 4\).

- Solving gives: \( 10x + 88 = 11x + 44 \).

- Equation simplifies to: \( x = 44 \).

- New average: \( 44 + 4 = 48 \).

- Option 3: 48 is correct.
