Solution
Given information about the family:
- Six members: A, B, C, D, E, and F
- B is the son of C but C is not the mother of B
- A and C are a married couple
- E is the brother of C
- D is the daughter of A
- F is the brother of B
Since B is the son of C but C is not the mother of B, C must be the father of B.
Therefore, C is male.
A and C are a married couple, and C is male.
Therefore, A is female (the mother).
The family structure:
- C (male) - father
- A (female) - mother
- B (male) - son of A and C
- D (female) - daughter of A and C
- F (male) - brother of B, so F is also a son of A and C
- E (male) - brother of C (uncle)
Evaluating statement (A): There are only three male members in the family
Male members: C, B, F, E = 4 males
Statement (A) is incorrect.
Evaluating statement (B): A has only three children
Children of A and C: B, D, F = 3 children
Statement (B) is correct.
Evaluating statement (C): A and D are both females
A is female (mother) and D is female (daughter)
Statement (C) is correct.
Evaluating statement (D): D is a female but A is not a female
D is female (correct), but A is also female (incorrect claim)
Statement (D) is incorrect.
(A) and (D) are incorrect but (B) and (C) are correct.
The correct answer is Option 4.
