Correct AnswerNone of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- N is the daughter of F, with F having two children.
- F is I's sister-in-law, thus married to I's sibling.
- N has one son, indicating N is female.
- J is K's son and doesn’t have a sister, implying J’s sibling (if exists) is male.
- M is J’s grandfather’s brother-in-law, indicating M is not directly tied to G or L.
- G is from the first generation, implying they are among the grandparents.
- H is N’s brother-in-law, meaning N's brother is H.
- L being G’s child adds complexity without gender specification.
Counting males in context:
- J, K’s son, is male.
- H is male as N’s brother-in-law.
- M is male as indicated as a brother-in-law.
- N’s only son is male.
Assumption without L’s exact gender:
- I and L's gender remain unspecified, creating ambiguity in final male count.
Therefore, without knowing L's gender precisely, the correct answer is: Option 4, Cannot be determined
