Six members of a family, namely P, Q, R, S, T, U are travelling together, Q is the son of R but R is not the mother of Q. P and R are a married couple. T is the brother of R. S is the daughter of P. U is the brother of Q. How many male members are there in the family ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 4
Q is the son of R, but R is not his mother, so R is the father and, being married to P, makes P the mother. T, the brother of R, is male, and U, the brother of Q, is male as well. S, the daughter of P, is female.
The males are therefore R, Q, T and U — four in all, the two women being P and S.
