Family = Two grand parents = 2*67 = 134, two parents = 2*35 = 70, three grand children = 3*6 = 18.
After started in 134+70+18. Total members: 222/7 = 31.5/7.

In question they mention that 2 parents and 2 grandparents, parents mean father and mother both, then why 67 and 35 are multiplied by 2, why not 4. Because there are 2 parents.

According to Question : 2 Grandparents mean two members (Grandfather and Grandmother) Not mean to say (2 Grandfather or 2 Grandmother)!
And same follow as two Parents (Dad and Mom).
At Last 2 + 2 + 3 = 7.
I hope you understood.
