The vice-captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 24 years old and the opener is 5 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is 2 years less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?
Let the average age of the whole team be xyears Total age of the whole team = 11x years => [11x - (24 + 29)]/9 = (x-2) => 11x – 53 = 9x– 18 => 11x- 9x = 53 – 18 => 2x = 35 => x = 17 years 6 months
