In a cricket team, the average of eleven players is 28 years. Out of these, the average ages of three grou
ps 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,
what is the age of the captain ?

A. 33 years
B. 34 years

D. 36 years
Show Answer
Share
Answer :
(C)
35 years

Description :
Let the age of youngest player be x.

Then, age of the captain = (x + 11).

=> 3*25 + 3*28 + 3*30 + x + x + 11 = 11*28.

=> 75+84+90+2x+11=308

so 2x = 48

so x = 24.

Age of the captain = (x+11)

= 35 years.

D. 64 years
Close Answer
Share
Answer :
(C)
30 years

(P+Q+R), five years ago = (37*3)

= 111years.

(P+Q+R), now = (111 + 5*3) years

= 126 years.

P+Q+R+S now = (39x4)years

= 156years.

S, now = (156—126)
