Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given,

In a family of six members, 1,2,3,4,5 and 6,2 is the son of 3 but

3 is not the mother of 2, 1 and 3 are a married couple. 5 is 3's

brother, 4 is 1's daughter and 6 is 2's brother.

To find,

the number of male members in the family.

Solution

2 is a son so he is a male member

3, the parent of 2, is not his mother, so he's 2's father which makes him a male member as well

Since 1 and 3 are a couple, and 3 is the father, 1 is the mother, so a female member

5 is 3's brother, which means he also is a male member

4 is 1's daughter, which means she is a female member

6 is 2's brother which means he is a male member as well

Thus,

There are 4 male members in the family who are 2, 3, 6 and 5
