b) In a T20 match, a team needed just 6 runs to win with 1 ball left to go in the last over.
The last ball was bowled and the batsman at the crease hit it high up. The ball traversed
along a path in a vertical plane and the equation of the path is 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + c with
respect to a xy -coordinate system in the vertical plane and the ball traversed through the
points (10,8), (20,16), (40,22), can you conclude that the team won the match?
Justify your answer. (All distances are measured in metres and the meeting point of the
plane of the path with the farthest boundary line is (70,0).)
