Study the information given below carefully and answer the question that follows. There are eight members in a family. S is the father of U. Q is the father of A. G is married to S. T is the mother-in-law of G. M is the granddaughter of Q. T has only 2 children. Y is the son-in-law of Q. U and A are cousins. How many male members are there in the family?
- 3
- 4
- 5
- Either 3 or 4
Correct answer: Either 3 or 4
Solution
From the clues, S is male and father of U, Q is male and father of A, and Y is the son-in-law of Q, so Y is male. G is married to S, so G is female, and T is the mother-in-law of G, meaning T is the mother of S. Since T has only two children, one of them is S and the other is the parent of A, but the gender of that second child is not fixed by the clues. Hence the number of male members can be either 3 or 4.
