Statements:
- H is the only daughter of X who is wife of M.

Answer: Option

If H was given to be only child, could we say that answer would still be option D as M may have more than one wives ?

Option D will be correct cause statement II contradicts I.

In statement 1, h is the only daughter of M, but none of the statement tells about the son of m. Thus both the statement are not sufficient.

I think in first statement talking about MANY CHILDREN but M have only one child and second statement is immaterial that's why both are insufficient. Answer will be D.

It is nowhere mentioned in question that M have how many sons? question is how many children so whether it is son or daughter we have to count that, so I think answer should be A.

X and M are husband and wife so it is saying H is daughter of X so automatically for m also so they have one child. So option is 1.
And it says M has brothers that doesn't need to be cared.
And it says M has brothers that doesn't need to be cared.

Answer is option(A) because question indicates how many children M have?
So option(A) is sufficient.
So option(A) is sufficient.

The answer is D because no clarity regarding sons of M is given in the data and we are supposed to count the total number of children.

Why not option A?

A could have been answer if I statement was H is daughter of X who is her only child but the statement merely says H is the only daughter of X. Apparently it's inconclusive of number of children X or M have but at same it's conclusive of only number of daughter.
