Every child in a family has at least 4sis and 2bros. What is the least no. of children in the family?


Ans: so, atleast 6+1 children.

so answer, i guess shud b seven??
can some1 confirm this?? answer is quiet visible i guess.

You should write this problem out graphically and see if you can get a visual sense of the solution.

You say every child has four sisters. So how many sisters would sister 1 have?

How many brothers would brother 1 have?

Also, for next time, please post questions like these in a different forum. Its not really the type of question to go in the advanced probability and statistics category.

I think this is how to do it.

1g 4g 2b 1b

so, each child will have atleast 4sis and 2 bro.

So total children is 8.

Correct??
