The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationships and genders of the six persons: A, B, C, D, E, and F. ### Step 1: Identify Relationships 1. **C is the sister of F.** - This means C is female (C = Female). - F's gender is unknown at this point. 2. **B is the brother of E's husband.** - B is male (B = Male). - E's husband is male, and since B is his brother, we will denote E's husband as Male. 3. **D is the father of A and the grandfather of F.** - D is male (D = Male). - A is the child of D, and since D is the grandfather of F, A must be F's parent. 4. **There are two fathers, three brothers, and a mother in the group.** - We already have D as one father. The second father must be A, as he is the father of F (and C). ### Step 2: Determine Genders - Since C is female, and we have established that D and B are male, we need to determine the gender of A and F. - Since B is the brother of E's husband, and A is E's husband, A is male (A = Male). - F is the child of A and C, and since C is female, F's gender is still unknown. ### Step 3: Count Male Members Now we summarize the genders: - D = Male (Father) - A = Male (Father, Husband of E) - B = Male (Brother of A) - C = Female (Sister of F) - E = Female (Mother of A, F, and C) - F = Unknown (Child of A and C) ### Step 4: Determine F's Gender Since we know there are three brothers and C is the sister of F, F must be male for the count of brothers to be correct. Thus: - F = Male (Brother of C) ### Final Count of Male Members Now we can count the male members: 1. D (Male) 2. A (Male) 3. B (Male) 4. F (Male) Total male members = 4. ### Conclusion The number of male members in the group is **4**. ---
