    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Required average = \([ \frac { 67*2+35*2+6*3 } { 2 +2+3} ]\)

                                 = \([ \frac { 134+70+18 } { 7 } ]\)

                                 = \( \frac { 222 } { 7 } \)

                                = 31.\(\frac { 5 } { 7} \) years.
