Solution:

Let

average after 17th innings = x

so

average after 16th innings = (x-3)

Mathematically;

16(x-3)+85 = 17x

16x - 48 + 85 = 17x

16x +37 = 17x

37 = 17x - 16x

37 = x ............................ Answer

so

the average after the 17th innings will be 37

How is thermal expansion being affected by temperature?

Thermal Expansion is being affected by temperature because the substance's temperature increases and therefore it makes the particles move faster and spread out. Also, it causes more space between the particles which then makes the substance expand. Alcohol in a thermometer is expanding and that is also caused by Thermal Expansion. Not only that but, Mercuy is also used in thermometers which again like I said before is caused by Thermal Expansion which to then makes the thermometer expand the red liquid.

What makes Sachin Tendulkar the Greatest Batsman of All Time?

It can be argued that Sachin is the greatest ODI batsman of all time (eventhough some may mention legendary players such as Sir Viv Richards or Sanath Jayasuriya) but probably have a tougher time placing him on the top in test matches due to the presence of great batsman such as Sir Don Bradman in the history of the game. He is probably, however, the greatest batsman in any form since Bradman.

2 batsmen on 94 each 7 to win off 3 balls fall of wicket is not allowed both reach 100 how?

Batsman 1 hits the 1st ball behind the keeper and the ball hits bat pad fielder helmet which is behind the keeper, so batsman 1 gets 5 runs and in the next ball batsman 1 scored another one run. So batsman 1 reached 100 runs and he crossed the pitch. Now 1 ball, 1 run to win and batsman 2 is about to strike. He hits the amazing six which makes him score the century and also team won the match. So in 3 balls both the batsman scored their century without fall of wicket. I hope above is the right answer. Thank u Regards, Karthick Batsman 1 hits the 1st ball to 4 runs in the next ball batsman 1 scored 3 runs but umpire declares one run short now batsman 1 complete his century and batsman 2 is on strike and team needs one run to win Now 1 ball, 1 run to win and batsman 2 is about to strike. He hits the amazing six which makes him score the century and also team won the match. Regards, Sanjit

What is the fewest possible outs in a baseball game?

Somewhat of a trick question: the fewest outs will also be, with maybe one exception, the most outs. There are three outs per innings per side, this makes for six outs in an inning. There are a total of nine innings. this suggests that there are 54 outs in a baseball game, provided all innings are played. In some versions of the game, if the last side to bat has already won the game they can elect to not bat that innings, therefore making the fewest possible outs in a baseball game 51 instead.
