D Correct answer
Explanation

Total age of 7 persons = 7 × 30 = 210 years. Total age of 5 persons = 5 × 31 = 155 years. Age of remaining 2 persons = 210 - 155 = 55 years. Average = 55/2 = 27.5 years. Option A (26 years) is incorrect. Option B (15 years) would mean the two persons are very young, making the others much older. Option C (55 years) is the sum, not the average. Since 27.5 is not listed, D is correct.
