Answer : Option E
Explanation :
I. Retirement age is 60 years.
II. There are 50 employees in the department.
Average age of 50 employees = 30 years.
Total age of 50 employees = (50 x 30) years = 1500 years.
Number of employees next year = 40.
Total age of 40 employees next year (1500 + 40 - 60 x 10) = 940.
Average age next year =\(\frac { 940 } {40 } \)years=23\(\frac { 1 } { 2 } \)years.
Thus, I and II together give the answer. So, correct answer is (E).
