Q: In a family of six members, if A is the father of B, and B is the brother of C, who is the mother of D, who is the sister of E. How many males are there in the family?
Solution: A is male (father), B is male (brother), and C is female (sister). Thus, there are 2 males.
Steps: 8
Step 1: Identify the relationships in the family. A is the father of B.
Step 2: Determine the gender of A. Since A is the father, A is male.
Step 3: B is the brother of C. Since B is a brother, B is also male.
Step 4: C is the sister of B. Since C is a sister, C is female.
Step 5: D is mentioned as the child of C. Since C is female, C is the mother of D.
Step 6: D is the sister of E. Since D is a sister, D is female.
Step 7: E is not specified as male or female, but we already have identified the genders of A, B, C, and D.
Step 8: Count the males: A (1 male) + B (1 male) = 2 males in total.
