The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 27 years old and the wicket keeper is 1 year older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?	Choose the correct option:
A) 20
B) 21
C) 22
D) 23
E) 24
Let the average age of the whole team be x years.   11x - (27 + 28) = 9 (x - 1)   11x - 9x = 46   2x = 46   x = 23.   The average age of the team is 23 years.   The answer is 23.
