Ajit has a certain average for 9 innings. In the tenth innings, he scores 100 runs thereby increasing his average by 8 runs. His new average is:

Explanation:-

Let Ajit's average be x for 9 innings. So, Ajit scored 9x run in 9 innings.
In the 10th inning, he scored 100 runs then average became (x+8). And he scored (x+8)*10 runs in 10 innings.
Now,
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow 9x + 100 = 10 \times \left( {x + 8} \right) \cr & {\text{or}},\,9x + 100 = 10x + 80 \cr & {\text{or}},\,x = 100 - 80 \cr & {\text{or}},\,x = 20 \cr & {\text{New}}\,{\text{average}} = \left( {x + 8} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 28\,{\text{runs}} \cr}$$
