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.

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.
