Answer / rashmi
7 females and 6 males
We are sure that A and L are males.Similarly M and H are
females.(Since the question states so)
Now assume E is a female .Then D is a female and so are C
and G.This leads to a conclusion that all others are
males.Then the number of males becomes more than females.
Now assume E is a male.Then D is a male and so are C and G.
Then B,I,J,K,F are females,
Thus number of females is 7,males is 6.

Answer / guest
There are 7 females and 6 males.
Assume that there are four sexes - male, female, X and Y.
Prepare the following tree based on the data given :
sister
L(m) - H(f) -------------------- M(f) - A(m)
| |
| |
E(x) - I(y) D(x) B(y) - C(x)
| |
| |
J(y) K(y) F(y) G(x)
It is clear that there are altogether 13 persons - 2 males,
2 females, 4 Xs and 5 Ys.
It is given that there are more number of females than male.
Hence, all Y must represent female. Thus, there are 7
females and 6 males.

A, B and C are three points on a straight line, not necessarily equidistant with B being between A and C. Three semicircles are drawn on the same side of the line with AB, BC and AC as the diameters. BD is perpendicular to the line ABC, and D lies on the semicircle AC. If the funny shaped diagram between the three semicircles has an area of 1000 square cms, find the length of BD.
