Solution

The average runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 20. This means the total runs scored in 10 innings is 10*20 = 200 runs.

Now, he wants to increase his average runs by 4. So, the new average will be 20+4 = 24 runs.

This new average is for 11 innings (10 previous ones and the next one). So, the total runs he should have after 11 innings is 24*11 = 264 runs.

Therefore, to increase his average to 24, the player must score 264-200 = 64 runs in his next innings.
