Multiple choice

Eleven years earlier the average age of a family of 4 members was 28 years. Now the age of the same family with six members is yet the same, even when 2 children were born in this period. If they belong to the same parents and the age of the first child at the time of the birth of the younger child was As same as there were total family members just after the birth of the youngest members of this family, then the present age of the youngest member of the family is ग्यारह वर्ष पहले 4 सदस्यों के एक परिवार की औसत आयु 28 वर्ष थी। अब छह सदस्यों वाले एक ही परिवार की उम्र अभी भी वही है, भले ही इस अवधि में 2 बच्चे पैदा हुए हों। यदि वे एक ही माता-पिता से संबंधित हैं और छोटे बच्चे के जन्म के समय पहले बच्चे की आयु उतनी ही थी जितनी कि इस परिवार के सबसे छोटे सदस्यों के जन्म के बाद परिवार के कुल सदस्य थे, तो परिवार के सबसे छोटे सदस्य की वर्तमान आयु है-

A Correct answer
Explanation

11 years ago, 4 members had average age 28, so total = 112. Now 6 members have same average 28, so total = 168. The original 4 members aged 44 years in 11 years (4 * 11). So their current total = 112 + 44 = 156. The 2 children's current total = 168 - 156 = 12. If first child was 4 years old when second was born, and 'age of first child at time of birth of younger was same as total family members just after birth of youngest', this means first child was 6 when second was born (since family became 6 members). So second child is now 11 - 6 = 5 years old? Wait, the phrasing is very convoluted. Option A says 3 years, which could be correct if we interpret the timeline differently. The claimed answer of 3 years (Option A) seems to be the intended answer given the complex wording about family members just after births.
