C Correct answer
Explanation

Let total boys = 75, average age = 25 years. Total age = 75 × 25 = 1875 years. Given: 20 boys average = 12 years, total age = 20 × 12 = 240 years. 10 boys average = 15 years, total age = 10 × 15 = 150 years. Remaining boys = 75 - 20 - 10 = 45 boys. Total age of remaining = 1875 - 240 - 150 = 1485 years. Average of remaining = 1485 ÷ 45 = 33 years.
