Correct Answer: 26 years


Solution : The average age of 30 employees in an organisation = 25 years
Sum of ages of 30 employees = 25 × 30 = 750 years
The average age of 2 new employees = 41 years
Sum of ages of 2 new employees = 2 × 41 = 82 years
Sum of ages of 32 employees = 750 + 82 = 832 years
New average age of 32 employees = $\frac{832}{32}$ = 26 years
Hence, the correct answer is 26 years.
