Total age of 6 members $ \large = 19 \times 6 = 114$
Now total age of these 6 members would be $ \large = 114 + (3 \times 6) = 132$
As a baby is born, let its age is $x$
Now average of 7 members would be $\large (132 + x ) / 7 = 19$
$ \large x = (19 \times 7 ) - 132$
$ \large x = 1 $
1 year
6 * 22 = 132
7 * 19 = 133
