(i) Sixes

(ii) fours

(iii) twos

(iv) singles

Solution:

(i) The cricketer hits 3 sixes.

i.e., $3 \times 6=18$

$\therefore \frac{18}{62} \times 100=29.03 \%$

(ii) The cricketer hits 8 fours.

i. e., $8 \times 4=32$

$\therefore \frac{32}{62} \times 100=51.61 \%$

(iii) The cricketer hits 2 twos.

i. e., $2 \times 2=4$

$\therefore \frac{4}{62} \times 100=6.45 \%$

(iv) The cricketer hits 8 singles.

i. e., $8 \times 1=8$

$\therefore \frac{8}{62} \times 100=12.90 \%$
