Correct Answer
Explanation
The present age of the baby can be found by using the following steps:
Calculate the total age of the family of 5 members 2 years ago: 16 years * 5 members = 80 years
Calculate the present age of the family of 5 members: 80 years + (2 years * 5 members) = 90 years
Calculate the total age of the family of 6 members, including the baby: 16 years * 6 members = 96 years
Calculate the present age of the baby: 96 years - 90 years = 6 years
