First of all, only write what you think the answer is, nothing else. Say you thought the answer was 99 just write 99 and reply. I will reveal the answer after a few replys.
In a family each child has at least 2 brothers and 3 sisters, what is the minimum number of children in the family?
;D

Well done it's 7. I'll tell you why. Each person in the family (boy or girl has at least 2 bros and 3 sis') so if there was six, i.e 4 girls and 2 boys that would work from a girls point of view as she has 3 sis' and 2 bros, but if it was a boy it wouldn't have, they would have 1 bro and 4 sis'. If it was 3 boys and 3 girls, it would work from the boys point of view, but no from a girls as they would have 3 bros and 2 sis'. So you need 7 people. 3 boys and 4 girls; this is 'cuz a boy would have 2 bros and 3 sisters and and a girl would have 3 sisters and 3 brothers ;D Well done chicken! You were the only one to get it. |
