Correct Answer: 27 years
Explanation:
According to question ,
The average age of a cricket team = 27 years
Age of two old players = 24 + 27 = 51
Age of two new players = 23 + 28 = 51
∴ New average age of a cricket team = 27 + ( Age of two old players ) - ( Age of two new players )
New average age of a cricket team = 27 + ( 51 ) - ( 51 ) = 27 years
In other words ,The total age of the two players which were replaced is the same as that of the total age of two players which replaced them. Therefore, the new average will remain unchanged.
