Correct Answer: 24 years


Solution : The average age of 30 students = 20 years
Total age of 30 students = 30 × 20 = 600 years
The average age of 20 students = 30 years
Total age of 20 students = 20 × 30 = 600 years
Hence, average age of total number of students = $\frac{600+600}{30+20} = \frac{1200}{50}= 24$ years
Hence, the correct answer is 24 years.
