A T20 tournament called the IPL was organised by the BCCI. The top seven batsmen in the tournament were SE Marsh, G Gambhir, ST Jayasurya, SR Watson, SG Smith, AC Gilchrist and YK Pathan.
Some information is available about their performances, as seen in the table below. (Fours and sixes are collectively called boundaries.) Some other facts are also known:

I. The ratio of the number of runs scored in sixes by S R Watson to the number of runs scored in fours by S T Jayasurya is 1 : 2.
II. SR Watson scored 70 more runs in fours than the number he scored in sixes.
III. G Gambhir and SG Smith scored equal number of sixes.
IV. The number of fours hit by ST Jayasurya is three times the number of sixes hit by AC Gilchrist.
V. Of his total runs scored in boundaries, G Gambhir scored 15% in sixes.
VI. The number of runs scored by A C Gilchrist in fours is equal to the sum of the numbers of runs scored by S E Marsh and G Gambhir in sixes.
VII. ST Jayasurya scored 6 sixes more than YK Pathan.
 
 
Q. If the ratio of the number of runs scored by sixes to the number of runs scored other than those by boundaries is 19 : 29 for SR Watson, then what is his total score?
    Correct answer is '472'. Can you explain this answer?

    Solution: Considering the solution to the first question of the set, for SR Watson: Number of runs scored in sixes = 1 9 x 6 = 114 Number of runs scored in fours = 46 x 4 = 184 Number of runs in sixes : Number of runs scored other than those by boundaries = 1 9 : 2 9 Number of runs scored other than those by boundaries = (29/19) x (19 x 6) = 29 x 6 = 174 The number of runs scored by SR Watson = 174 + 114 + 184 = 472

    Understanding SR Watson's Performance
    To find SR Watson's total score, we need to analyze the provided information step by step.
    Key Information Breakdown
    - Run Scoring with Boundaries:
    - Let the runs scored by SR Watson in sixes be 'S'. Then, from the ratio given (1:2), the runs from fours are '2S'.
    - Fours and Sixes Relation:
    - According to the information, SR Watson scored 70 more runs in fours than in sixes:
    - 2S = S + 70
    - Solving this gives S = 70. Thus, runs from sixes = 70 and from fours = 140.
    - Total Runs from Boundaries:
    - Total runs from boundaries = 70 (sixes) + 140 (fours) = 210.
    Boundary to Non-Boundary Runs Ratio
    - Given Ratio:
    - The ratio of runs from sixes to non-boundary runs is 19:29.
    - Calculating Non-Boundary Runs:
    - Let 'R' be the non-boundary runs. Thus:
    - 70 (sixes) / R = 19 / 29
    - Cross-multiplying gives:
    - 70 * 29 = 19R
    - R = (70 * 29) / 19 = 103.68 (approximately 104).
    Total Score Calculation
    - Total Score:
    - Total Score = Runs from boundaries + Non-boundary runs
    - Total Score = 210 + 104 = 314.
    However, this calculation seems incorrect based on the problem's conclusion of 472. The discrepancy suggests reevaluation of boundary definitions or additional runs scored outside boundaries.
    By revisiting ratios or including other batsmen's scores may clarify the overall performance contributing to SR Watson's final tally.
    Conclusion
    The calculation indicates a deeper look is needed into each player's contribution, especially if SR Watson's total score is stated as 472. The outlined approach provides a foundation, but further insights or corrections in assumptions will refine the accurate total.

The winner gets three points while the loser gets no points from a match. Both the teams get one point each if the match results in a draw. It is known that not more than 3 matches resulted in a draw in the tournament. The teams are ranked in the following manner before the tournament starts:The new ranks of the eight teams would be decided based on their performance in the ISL, with the team scoring the maximum points ranked 1 and so on. If two or more teams score equal points at the end of the tournament, their final ranks would be decided based on the total number of goals scored in the tournament, with more goals giving a team better rank.An “upset” is said to have happened when a lower ranked team defeats a higher ranked team in a match.(2012)Q.If Rajasthan Badshahs came in the top four teams after ISL, then what is the minimum number of upsets that must have happened?
