- Let the batsman's average after 14 innings be x.

- Total runs after 14 innings = 14x.

- After scoring 92 runs in the 15th inning:

- Total runs = 14x + 92.

- New average = (14x + 92)/15.

- Given, average increases by 4:

- (14x + 92)/15 = x + 4

- Solving:

- 14x + 92 = 15x + 60

- 92 - 60 = 15x - 14x

- 32 = x

- New average = x + 4 = 32 + 4 = 36

Option 4: 36 is correct.
