Option 4 : 17.5 yrs
GIVEN:
Avearge of a team = Average 3 years ago
Average age of players who left = 34 yrs
FORMULA USED:
Average = sum of observations/total number of observations
CALCULATION:
Let the present average age of the team be x and the sum of ages of newcomers be y
Total age = 11x
Total age 3 years ago = 11x - 33
Total age of outgoing players = 34 × 2 = 68 yrs
Total age of remaining 9 players = 11x - 68
Sum after newcomers joined = 11x - 68 + y
A.T.Q
11x - 33 = 11x - 68 + y
y = 35 yrs
Required average = 35/2 = 17.5 yrs
∴ The average age is 17.5 years.
Total age of youngsters = 34 × 2 - 11 × 3 = 35 yrs
Required average = 35/2 = 17.5 yrs
∴ The average age is 17.5 years.
