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.

Praveen said:   1 decade ago
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.

Why it is 3 or 4? Why not 3 only? If its clearly mentioned about the boys here.

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.

If the arrangement is like that:

Bench 1: A, D.

Bench 2: F, B, C.

Bench 3: G, E.

Then below all question get wrong, is it possible arrangement please.

3 girls should be there definitely because A is a boy because his word is used for A, and his represent a boy.
