Solution
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.
