The correct answer is Option (4) → L
1. Identify the Generations and Genders
- M is the mother of N: This means M is from the older generation and N is from the younger generation.
- M is the only married female: Since there is one married couple, M must be the wife.
- L and O are the only males: This tells us the gender of everyone else.
- Males: L, O
- Females: M, N, K (Since M is the only married female, K and N must be unmarried females).
2. Establish the Siblings
- O is the brother of K.
- N is the sister of O.
- Therefore, K, N, and O are all siblings (the children's generation).
3. Identify the Parents
- We know M is the mother of N, so M is also the mother of K and O.
- Since M is the "only married female" and the mother, her husband must be the father of the children.
- From the male list (L and O), we know O is a sibling (the son).
- This leaves L as the only person who can be the husband of M and the father of the children.
Conclusion
- Father: L
- Mother: M
- Children: K (Female), N (Female), O (Male)
Answer: The father of K is L. |
