Rakesh has three daughters and each daughter has a brother. How many male members are there in the family ? Correct Answer 2

The correct answer is 2.

  • Rakesh has three daughters and each daughter has a brother. There are 2 male members are there in the family.
  • Let the children in the family be as follows:
    • A daughter
    • B daughter
    • C daughter
    • D son
    • D can be a brother for A.
    • D can also be a brother for B.
    • D can also be a brother for C.
  • All the three daughters have one brother Which proves that there are 3 daughters and 1 brother in the family.
  • And it is logical for the children to also have a father along with a mother. Hence, there is a minimum of 2 males in the family.
