I have a truffle version problem. and I've done it but it's not working

Question

I've done npm install -g solc@0.4.16 and it reads solc@0.5.16 when doing the truffle version

  compilers: {
    solc: {
      version: "^0.4.26", // A version or constraint - Ex. "^0.5.0"
                         // Can also be set to "native" to use a native solc
      //docker: <boolean>, // Use a version obtained through docker
      parser: "solcjs",  // Leverages solc-js purely for speedy parsing
      //settings: {
      //  optimizer: {
      //    enabled: <boolean>,
      //    runs: <number>   // Optimize for how many times you intend to run the code
      //  },
      //  evmVersion: <string> // Default: "petersburg"
      // }
    }
  }

Truffle now doesn't supports the solidity version below the 0.5.16. So you have to write the smart contracts which are equal or above this version
