mother, M.
? E and E's spouse, I have two children - J and K who are

Note that no persons have married more than once. Also,
there are more number of females than males. Can you tell
how many females are there?
Answer Posted / 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.
