The mean age can be calculated by adding up all the ages and then dividing by the total number of employees.

34 + 41 + 28 + 35 + 27 + 44 + 48 + 29 + 33 + 39 = 348

Now, divide by 10 (since there are 10 employees):

348 / 10 = 34.8

So, the mean age of the employees is 34.8 years.

Therefore, the closest option is 35.8.
