1. Family Tree Analysis
- C and B: B is the son of C. Since C is not the mother, C must be the Father (Male).
- A and C: A and C are a married couple. Since C is the father, A must be the Mother (Female).
- E and C: E is the brother of C. So, E is Male.
- B, D, and F:
- B is the son of C.
- F is the brother of B. So, F is Male and also a son of A and C.
- D is the daughter of A. So, D is Female and a daughter of A and C.
- Summary of Children: A and C have three children: B (Son), F (Son), and D (Daughter).
2. Matching the Lists
- (A) The number of male members in the family: Males are C (Father), E (Uncle), B (Son), and F (Son). Total = 4. Match: (A) – (III)
- (B) Mother of B: As C is the father and A is married to C, A is the mother. Match: (B) – (IV)
- (C) Number of children of A: The children are B, F, and D. Total = 3. Match: (C) – (I)
- (D) Uncle of F: E is the brother of F's father (C), so E is the uncle. Match: (D) – (II)
