The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 30 years old and the wicket keeper is 5 years younger. 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 of the team?
Answer/Solution
23
Steps/Work
Let the average of the whole team be x years.
11x - (30 + 25) = 9(x - 1)
= 11x - 9x = 46
= 2x = 46 => x = 23
So, average age of the team is 23 years.
Answer:B
11x - (30 + 25) = 9(x - 1)
= 11x - 9x = 46
= 2x = 46 => x = 23
So, average age of the team is 23 years.
Answer:B
