Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation


Let x be the average score of the batsman after the 17th inning.

Then the average score of the batsman after the 16th inning is (x - 3).

The total number of runs scored by the batsman in the first 16 innings is (x - 3) * 16 + 87 = 17x.

Solving for x, we get x = (87 - 48) / 17 = 39
