Solution
The correct option is D 14 Given, four sons and their wives means there are 4 females. Now, each of the son and wife has 1 son and 2 daughter. So, there are 8 daughters in total. Therefore, total number of females = 1 Grandmother + 1 mother + 4 daughter-in-law + 8 daughters of daughter-in-law = 14 females Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
