Correct Answer: 11 years
Solution : The average age of 5 children = 10 years Sum of the ages of 5 children = 10 × 5 = 50 Age of first new child = 11 years Age of second new child = 16 years Total ages of 7 children = 50 + 11 + 16 = 77 years So, the required average = $\frac{\text{Sum of the ages of 7 children}}{\text{Total children}}$ = $\frac{77}{7}$ = 11 years Hence, the correct answer is 11 years.
