    is 24 years old and the opener is 5 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is 2 years less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?
    A 12 years 6 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 22 years 6 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17 years 6 months Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the average age of the whole team be xyears Total age of the whole team = 11x years => [11x - (24 + 29)]/9 = (x-2) => 11x – 53 = 9x– 18 => 11x- 9x = 53 – 18 => 2x = 35 => x = 17 years 6 months
