Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Let the number of children by x `" "…(i)`
From statement A we get, techer's age =x
From statement B we get, Average age of `(x+1)` persons `=(x+2)`
`therefore"Techer's age"=(x+2)(x+1)=x^(2)`
`=x^(2)+3x+2-x^(2)=3x+2" "...(ii)`
From (i) and (ii) also we cannot find the average age of the children.
