Question

Mrs Smith has 9 children , half of them are girls. How is this possible

Answer 1

Answer:

It doesn’t say half of them are boys and half are girls. Half of them are boys because all of them are boys!

Answer 2

Answer:

Mrs.Smith has 9 children and all are girls.

Explanation:

We know,

Mrs.Smith has 9 children. It is also mentioned that half of them are girls. But the fun part is, it is not mentioned that the remaining kids are boys.

So, we don't know about the other half of them. Hence, it is safe to conclude that the rest of the children are also girls as a human can not be possibly divided into half.

Thus, Mrs. Smith has 9 children and all of them are girls.
