    The captain of a famous club cricket team of eleven members is 26 yr old and the wicket keeper is 3 yr older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?

    A) 22 yr

    B)  23 yr

    C)  24 yr                           

    D)  25 yr

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Average age of 11 member cricket team = x years \[\therefore \]Total age of cricket team = 11 x years. When captain aged 26 yr and wicketkeeper aged 26+3 = 29 yr are excluded. Total age of remaining 9 players\[=11x-(26+29)\] \[=(11x-55)\]years According to the question, \[\frac{11x-55}{9}=x-1\] or, \[11x-55=9x-9=2x=44\] \[\therefore \]      \[x=22\]yr
