    C)          2 years            

    D)         3 years

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let total age of family be S years 3 years ago, total age \[=S-3\times 5=S-15\]             \[\frac{S-15}{5}=17\] \[S=17\times 5+15=100\] Let present age of baby be x years \[\frac{S+x}{6}=17\] \[100+x=17\times 6\] \[x=102-100=2\]years
