Brothers and Sisters



          In the Sareen family each daughter has the same numbers of brother as she sisters and each son has twice as many sisters as he has brothers. Now can you tell me how many sons and how many daughters does the Sareen family have?

Answer:   4 daughters and 3 sons. Consider d= number of daughters, and s = number of sons then
D-1 = s
2(s-1) = d
Solving d and s,
D = 4, s =3
