The average age of 11 players of a cricket team is increased by 2 months when two of them aged 18 years and 20 years are replaced by two new players. The average age of the new players is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
After replacing the two new players, the average age of 11 players or a cricket team is increased by 2 months.
Due to the replacing of two new players, the total age of 11 players is increased by (11×2) months = 22 month
So, the total age of two new players is = (18+20) years + 22 months
= 38 years + 22 months
And the average age of the new players is = \(\frac{38 years + 22 months}{2}\)
= 19 years 11 months
