10.0.6.0/28

The boss cannot decide among five competing subnet masks to use for this next new subnet to add to the internetwork.

He tells you that the new subnet ID must be part of Class A network 10.0.0.0, that the new subnet must not overlap with the original five subnets, and that the new subnet ID must be the numerically lowest possible subnet ID (without breaking the other rules).
