In a joint family, there is the father, the mother, 3 married sons and one unmarried daughter. Of the sons, two have two daughters each, and one has a son. How many female members are there in the family?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The family consists of:

  • Father
  • Mother
  • 3 married sons
  • 1 unmarried daughter
  • Children of the sons

Female members in the family:

Mother: 1 female

Unmarried daughter: 1 female

Wives of the 3 married sons: 3 females

Granddaughters (2 sons with 2 daughters each): 2×2=42 \times 2 = 4 females


Total female members:

=1+1+3+4= 1 + 1 + 3 + 4

=9= 9

Therefore, there are 9 female members in the family.
