In a joint family, there are a father, a mother, 2 married sons and one unmarried daughter. Of the sons, one has 2 daughters and other has a son and a daughter. How many female members are there in the family?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 7
The family is built up generation by generation, and the women who joined by marriage are counted as well:
First generation: the father and the mother (1 female)
Second generation: two married sons, their two wives, and the unmarried daughter (3 females)
Third generation: one son has two daughters; the other has a son and a daughter (3 females)
Female members: \(1+3+3=7\)
