Who among the following did not get out for the maximum number of times ?

Answer: D

Among the options, P6 remained not out the most times.

Since average = runs / times out, the number of times each batsman got out is runs divided by average:

Batsman	Innings	Times out	Not out
P1	48	1800 / 40 = 45	3
P2	50	2034 / 45.2 = 45	5
P3	46	1679 / 36.5 = 46	0
P4	44	1539 / 40.5 = 38	6
P5	38	1806 / 51.6 = 35	3
P6	40	1445 / 42.5 = 34	6

P6 was not out in 6 innings, more than P1 (3), P2 (5) or P5 (3). P4 also has 6 not-outs but is not among the options.

Choosing P5 because of the highest average, or P2 because of the most runs, confuses scoring with not-outs.
