Solution

The problem can be solved using the concept of averages. Here are the steps:

  1. The batsman has increased his average by 3 runs after the 17th inning. This means that he has scored 3 runs more than his previous average in each of the 17 innings. So, the total runs scored more than his previous average = 3 * 17 = 51 runs.

  2. In the 17th inning, the batsman scored 87 runs. Out of these 87 runs, 51 runs were the 'extra' runs that he scored to increase his average. So, the remaining runs = 87 - 51 = 36 runs. These 36 runs are the batsman's previous average.

  3. Since the average increased by 3, the new average after the 17th inning = previous average + 3 = 36 + 3 = 39 runs.

So, the batsman's average after the 17th inning is 39 runs. Therefore, the correct option is 39.
