2. | In a cricket team, the average age of eleven players in 28 years. What is the age of the captain? |
| A. | Any two of the three |
| B. | All I, II and III |
| C. | II only or I and III only |
| D. | None of Above |
|
| Answer: Option C |
|
|
| Explanation: |
|
Total age of 11 players = (28 x 11) years = 308 years.
I. C = Y + 11 C - Y = 11 .... (i)
II. Total age of 10 players (excluding captain) = (27.3 x 10) years = 273 years.
Age of captain = (308 - 273) years = 35 years.
Thus, C = 35. .... (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get Y = 24
III. Total age of 9 players = [ (25 x 3) + (28 x 3) + (30 x 3)] years = 249 years.
C + Y = (308 - 249) = 59 .... (iii)
From (i) and (iii), we get C = 35.
Thus, II alone gives the answer.
Also, I and III together give the answer.
Correct answer is (C). |
