By what percentage is runs scored by P in form of 3’s is greater than number of 6’s scored by R?
Runs scored by P in form of 3’s = 81 – (23 × 1 + 3 × 2 + 4 × 4 + 4 × 6) = 12
Number of 6’s scored by R = 2
∴ Percentage by which runs scored by P in form of 3’s is greater than number of 6’s scored by R = ((12 – 2)/2) × 100 = 500%
