A mobile company offered to pay the Indian Cricket Team as much money per run scored by the side as the total number it gets in a one-dayer against Australia. Which one of the following cannot be the total amount to be spent by the company in this deal?
(a)21,904
(b)56,169
(c)1,01,761
(d)1,21,108
Answer
Answer (as printed): D
