Answer: Option

From I, we conclude that H is the only daughter of M. But this does not indicate that M has no son. The information given in II is immaterial.

A should be the answer because the question asks about the number of children-not the number of sons (which is given in the explanation).

It should be option (A), since in the first statement it says that H is the daughter of X (who is wife of M), so M is the father of H, in question they have asked about how many children M have, so, the statement 1 statisfied which is A.

A should be the answer because we have to count a number of children, not the relationship or it doesn't count or mentioned that m have relationships with anyone else rather than x so (a) is correct because it's clearly mentioned that count child by statement M has only 1 and it says answer (A) is correct.

We can not assume that M has another child. As given in statement M has only 1 daughter. So answer A is correct.
