In a family there are six members A, B, C, D, E, F. A and B are married couple. D is only son of C. A is father of E, who is granddaughter of F, whose husband has died and C is brother of A. How many male members are in the family.
- a.3
- b.4
- c.5
- d.2
Answer: (A) 3
Working out the family: A (male, father of E, C's brother) + B (A's wife) = married couple. C (male, A's brother) is parent of D (son). E is granddaughter of F (female, whose husband died — so F's husband is deceased, not in the 6). The six members are A, B, C, D, E, F. Male members: A, C, D = 3 males.
