Correct Answer: 37 years


Solution : The average age of 10 students and their class teacher = 17 years
Sum of age of 10 students and the teacher = $17\times(10 + 1) = 187$ years
If the age of the class teacher is excluded, the average age of the 10 students is reduced by 2 years.
Thus, the total age of 10 students = $10\times(17 - 2) = 150$
$\therefore$ Age of the class teacher = $187 - 150 = 37$
Hence, the correct answer is 37 years.
