There are six persons A, B, C, D, E and F in a family. C is sister of F. B is the brother of E's husband. D is the father of A and grandfather of F. There are two fathers, three brothers and a mother in the family.
In reference to the above information, which of the following are correct?
A. E is the mother in the family.
B. A is the husband of E.
C. There are four male members in the family.
D. F is the son of D.
Solution
- C is the sister of F.
Note: C is a female.
- B is the brother of E's husband.
Note: B is male and E is female.
- D is the father of A and the grandfather of F.
Note: D is male, A is a parent (mother or father) of F.
Now, we know A is also a parent of C. (Point 1.)
Only information we do not have: Who is the husband of E?
A is the only possibility.
Hence, the diagrammatic representation is as follows:
Now, since there are two fathers, three brothers, and a mother in the family, F must be a male.
A. E is the mother in the family. True
B. A is the husband of E. True
C. There are four male members in the family. True
D. F is the son of D. False
Hence, the correct option is Option 2.
