Answer
There are nine Mustards in the family. Since each daughter shares the same brother, there are six girls, one boy, and Mr. and Mrs. Mustard.
Why this is the answer
All six daughters share the same single brother, so the family is 6 girls + 1 boy + 2 parents = 9, not 6 girls plus 6 separate brothers.
