? A is the father of two children - B and D who are of
different sexes.

? C is B's spouse.

? E is the same sex as D.

? B and C have the two children - F who is the same sex as B
and G who is the same sex as C.

? E's mother, H who is married to L, is the sister of D's
mother, M.

? E and E's spouse, I have two children - J and K who are
the same sex as I.

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 / 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.
