The average age of 11 players in a team is 28 years. If the captain is 33 years old, what is the average age of the remaining 10 players?

Question

Average of 5 integers is 38 and all the numbers are between 0 and 50 (both inclusive). In these 5 numbers, a is the minimum. If exactly 3 of them are more than 32, find the difference between the minimum and the maximum value of a.

Answer 1

The captain is $33 - 28 = 5$ years above the team mean. Removing that surplus of 5 across the remaining 10 players drops the mean by $\dfrac{5}{10} = 0.5$, giving $28 - 0.5 = 27.5$.

The average age of 11 players in a team is 28 years. If the captain is 33 years old, what is the average age of the remaining 10 players?
