Solution
Average runs scored= $\frac{Runs Scored}{NumberOfMatches}$
Total number of runs in 13 matches = 13*42 = 546
Number of runs scored in first 5 matches = 5*54 = 270
Runs scored in remaining 8 matches = 546-270 = 276
Average in remaining matches = $\frac{276}{8}$ = 34.5
Average runs scored= $\frac{Runs Scored}{NumberOfMatches}$
Total number of runs in 13 matches = 13*42 = 546
Number of runs scored in first 5 matches = 5*54 = 270
Runs scored in remaining 8 matches = 546-270 = 276
Average in remaining matches = $\frac{276}{8}$ = 34.5
