Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Given information:

  • 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. Since C is male, A must be female (C's wife).

Therefore, A is the mother of the children.


E is the brother of C.

Therefore, E is male.


D is the daughter of A. Since A and C are married, D is their daughter.

Therefore, D is female.


F is the brother of B. Both are sons of A and C.

Therefore, F is male.


Family structure:

  • Parents: A (female), C (male)
  • Children: B (male), D (female), F (male)
  • Uncle: E (male)

Evaluating each statement:

(A) A is the mother of B: Since A is C's wife and C is B's father, A is B's mother. Correct.

(B) D is the wife of E: D is the daughter of A and C. E is C's brother (D's uncle). This relationship is not supported. Incorrect.

(C) A and D are a pair of females: A is female (mother) and D is female (daughter). Correct.

(D) There are four male members: C (father), B (son), F (son), E (uncle) = 4 males. Correct.


Statements (A), (C), and (D) are correct.

The correct answer is Option 2.
