• B. 4
• C. 1
• D. 3

Hint:

To determine the number of females in a family, identify the relationships and deduce gender based on family roles and marriage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Let's break down the family relationships:
1. A is married to B: A is married to B, so B is female.
2. C is the brother of A: This implies C is male.
3. D is the only son of C: D is male.
4. B is the daughter-in-law of F: B is female, and F is male.
5. G is the father of C: G is male.
Based on these relationships:
B is female (married to A).
A is female (married to B).
E is not explicitly mentioned but assumed to be male in this context as there are no further details about their gender.
Therefore, there are 2 female members: A and B.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) 2.
