Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
After replacing the two new players, the average age of 11 players or a football team is increased by 4 months.
Due to the replacing of two new players, the total age of 11 players is increased by (11 × 4) months = 44 month
So, the total age of two new players is = (26 + 30) years + 44 months
= 56 years + 44 months
And the average age of the new players is =\(\frac{56 \;years \;+ \; 44\; months}{2}\)
= 28 years 22 months
