Question

In a family, there are father, mother and three married sons. Of the sons, two have 2 daughters each and one has a son. How many female members are there in the family?

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given in the family:

1. Father
2. Mother
3. Three married sons

Now, let's consider the children of the three married sons:

1. Two sons have 2 daughters each, so in total, there are 2 sons * 2 daughters each = 4 daughters.
2. One son has a son, so there is 1 son * 1 son = 1 grandson.

Now, let's count the female members in the family:

1. Mother
2. Four daughters (from two sons)
3. Grandson's mother (assuming the son who has a son is married)
4. Wives of the three married sons (since they are married into the family)

Adding these up: 1 + 4 + 1 + 3 = 9 female members in the family.
