Question
A party consists of grandmother, father, mother, four sons and their wives andone son and two daughters to each of the sons. How many females are thereis all?(a) 13(b) 16(c) 18(d) 24
Solution
Let's break down the number of females in the party:
- Grandmother: 1 female
- Mother: 1 female
- Wives of the four sons: 4 females
- Each son has one daughter, and there are four sons, so: 4 females
- Each of the four sons' wives also has one daughter, so: 4 females
Adding these up, we get: 1 (grandmother) + 1 (mother) + 4 (wives) + 4 (daughters of sons) + 4 (daughters of sons' wives) = 14 females
So, none of the options (a) 13, (b) 16, (c) 18, (d) 24 are correct. The correct answer should be 14 females.
