Question

Match the number of people with the respective generations.

• A. 8
• B. 2
• C. 32

Answer 1

Every generation of a family tree has double the number of members in the previous generation.

Starting from the current generation (1 member),

First generation $=1\times 2=2\text{members}$

Second generation $=2\times 2=4\text{members}$

Third generation $=4\times 2=8\text{members}$

Fourth generation $=8\times 2=16\text{members}$

Fifth generation $=16\times 2=32\text{members}$
