1. ave per match 15 the last match he get 23 runs 15-23=8
   if he get ave 16 runs add every 1 runs his ave 16
   now there have 8runs then the number of matchs will be 8
   including last match now calculate 16*8=128 18*8=144
   144-128=16 now the answer :23+16=39

2. ((15 X m) + 23)/(m+1)= 16
   solving , we get number of matches (m) as 7 (excluding last
   match)
   so he shud hit 39 runs in last innings to ake average to 18
