Explanation by: Admin
Part of the runs scored in the 87th innings will go towards increasing the average of the first 86 innings to the new average and remaining part of the runs will go towards maintaining the new average for the 87th innings. The only constraint in this problem is that there is increase in average by a whole number of runs. This is possible for all three options.
