Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
The average age of the team is 23 years.
To find this, we can use the following steps:
Let the average age of the whole team be x years.
The difference between the total ages of the captain and wicketkeeper and the average age of the whole team is 9(x - 1).
The difference between the total ages of the captain and wicketkeeper is 55 years.
Therefore, 11x - 55 = 9(x - 1).
Solving for x, we find that x = 23 years.
