Answer : 1. "74"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 74 Explanation: Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74.
