Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let the sum of the ages of the original $11$ players be $S$.The average age of the original team is $S/11$.When two players aged $18$ and $20$ are replaced by two new players with ages $x$ and $y$,the new sum of ages becomes $S - 18 - 20 + x + y = S + (x + y - 38)$.The new average age is $(S + x + y - 38) / 11$.According to the problem,the average age increases by $2$ months ($1/6$ of a year):$(S + x + y - 38) / 11 = S/11 + 2/12$Multiplying by $11$:$S + x + y - 38 = S + 22/12$$x + y - 38 = 22 	ext{ months}$$x + y = 38 	ext{ years } 22 	ext{ months}$.The average age of the two new players is $(x + y) / 2 = (38 	ext{ years } 22 	ext{ months}) / 2 = 19 	ext{ years } 11 	ext{ months}$.
