- The initial total run of 8 players is calculated as: 8 players * 6.5 average runs = 52 total runs.

- When 2 new players are added, the average run increases by 1, making the new average run 7.5.

- Now there are 10 players. Hence, the new total run is 10 players * 7.5 average runs = 75 total runs.

- The runs contributed by the 2 new players is: 75 total runs - 52 initial runs = 23 runs.

- The average run of the 2 new players is: 23 runs / 2 players = 11.5.

- Correct Answer: Option 2, 11.5
