C Correct answer
Explanation

Total age of 80 boys = 80 × 19 = 1520 years. Age of first 15 boys = 15 × 21 = 315 years. Age of next 25 boys = 25 × 18 = 450 years. Remaining boys = 80 - 15 - 25 = 40. Their total age = 1520 - 315 - 450 = 755 years. Average age = 755/40 = 18.875 years. The claimed answer is correct.
