I think option A is right.

The correct answer is option "D" because they didn't metion the genders of B, G and D they can be either boys or girls.

There can be only Three girls as E is stated to be brother of C.

Nandini said:   1 decade ago
Because its not clear whether G is a girl or boy. It is said that there has to be at least 1 girl but not necessarily 1 girl only on each bench. And G's gender is not specified. So there is 3 or 4 girls.

There is exact three girls because A is sit with his friend. It means A is a male and E is male So BCD are only females.

Option B is right.

it's obvious that there should be 3 girls ....a/c to ques.
And it's clear that boys E, F, A(sits with his friend).

One member can be either girl or boy.
So, there should be either 3 or 4 girls.

Sorry its right 3/4 bcs there is nothing given about the gender of g so 3/4.

According to the question, A sits on the bench 1 and G sits on the bench 3. Since F the boy student sits with only B, so place F and B on the bench 2. Because F is a boy, B must be a girl. Given that, C(girl) can not sit with A, E and D so place it on bench 3.

Given that, A sits on the bench I with his best friends. Therefore more then two students are sitting on bench 1, which are A, E and D.

Since E is the brother of C. E is a boy.

In bench 1 min one person should be girl, but we don't no about A &D.
girls=C ,B confirmed and more 1 or 2 persons from A ,D are girls.

Therefore answer is (B).

How is A a male member and D a female member?

Desk said:   1 decade ago
A is male member because its mentioned in question:

A sits on the bench I with his best friends.

D is a female member because at-least one girl should be sitting on a bench.
