The correct answer is
5
To solve this problem, we will need to analyze the given family relationships and count the number of male members based on the information provided.
- Identify members and their known genders:
- D: Father of F and E. Has only one son. (Male)
- E: Married to G and parent of K and J. Since D has only one son, E must be female (as D has one son, who cannot be both E and F).
- F: Since D has one son and E is female, F must be male (The only son of D).
- G: Married to E; hence, G is male. Described as the son-in-law of P.
- K: Child of E. Married to L, and given first name, assumed male.
- J: Child of E, assumed female based on name and context.
- H: Son of G. (Male)
- L: Married to K, and thus no gender information directly but not relevant to counting male family members.
- Counting the male members:
- D (Father)
- F (Son of D)
- G (Son-in-law of P, hence male)
- K (Assumed male based on name and spouse to L)
- H (Son of G)
Conclusion: Based on the above breakdown, the total number of male members in the family is 5.
