Let’s follow the question:

• Grandmother (one of the mother and grandmother)

• Grandfather ( one of the father and grandfather)

There are four children. One of the mother or father are children of the other so it will over one giving us three more addition.

Out of the three children, there is one brother and two sisters.

Two sons and two daughters (a father and three children).

Mother-in-law and father-in-law (grandmother and grandfather).

One of the mothers (daughter-in-law).

Hence, there are seven people.
