The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question. In a football team, the average age of eleven players is 26 years. Find the age of the goalkeeper Statement I: The goalkeeper is 11 years older than the youngest player Statement II: The average age of the 10 players other than the goalkeeper is 25.3 years Statement III: If the goalkeeper and the youngest player is not considered then the average age of the 3 groups of 3 players is 24 years, 28 years and 29 years respectively.?

Option 5 : II or I and III together

Total age of 11 players = 26 × 11 = 286 years

From statement I

Age of Goal Keeper = Age of youngest player + 11

⇒ G - Y = 11      ----(1)

From statement II

⇒ Total age of 10 players (excluding goalkeeper) = 25.3 × 10 = 253 years

⇒ Age of goalkeeper = 286 - 253 = 33 years

From statement III

Total age of 9 players = = 243 years

⇒ G + Y = 286 - 243 = 43 years       ----(2)

But the age of youngest player is not given

From I and III

Adding equation 1 and 2, we get

G + Y + G - Y = 43 + 11

⇒ 2G = 54

⇒ G = 54/2

⇒ G = 27 years
