Question

a couple has 4 sons and each son has exactly 2 sisters how many members are in the family​

Answer 1

Given,

A couple has 4 sons and each son has exactly 2 sisters.

To Find,

How many members are in the family​?

Solution,

The couple who are parents = 2

No. of sons they have = 4

No. sisters each son has = 2

Therefore,

total number of sisters the 4 boys have = 4 x 2 = 8

So,

No of adults (the couple) = 2

No of sons = 4

No. of daughters = 8

Therefore, total number of members in the family = 2 + 4 + 8 = 14.

The number of members in the family is 14.
