Question and options
In a cricket team of 11 players, the average age is 28 years. Out of these, the average ages of three groups of three players each are 25 years, 28 years, and 30 years respectively. If in these groups, the captain and the youngest player are not included and the captain is eleven years older than the youngest player, then the age of the captain is
- 33 years
- 34 years
- 35 years
- 36 years
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 35 years
Team total = 11 x 28 = 308. The three groups total 75 + 84 + 90 = 249, so captain + youngest = 59. With captain - youngest = 11, captain = 35.
