One family has no kid, while the others have at least one kid each. Amongst each family with kids, at least one kid goes to the picnic. Following is the information about the families.
(i) The family with two kids came just before the family with no kids.
(ii) D who does not have any kids reached just before C's family.
(iii) P and his wife reached last with their only kid.
(iv) Q is not B's husband.

(vii) B came before D and met A when she reached the fixed place.
(viii) R stays farthest from the place and he is a good singer.
(ix) S explained that his son could not come because of exams.

Who amongst the females arrived third?

The correct answer is
B

Family Arrival Order

The arrival order of the four families is deduced using the provided clues:

  • Clue (iii): P and his wife reached last with their only kid. This establishes P's family as the 4th to arrive.
  • Clue (i): The family with two kids arrived just before the family with no kids. This sets the order: (Family with 2 kids) → (Family with no kids).
  • Clue (ii): D, who does not have any kids, reached just before C's family. This means D's family has no kids and arrived immediately preceding C's family.
  • Combining these points: The sequence must be (Family with 2 kids) → (D's family, no kids) → (C's family). Since P's family is 4th, these must be the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd arrivals respectively.
    • 1st Family: Has two kids.
    • 2nd Family: D's family (no kids).
    • 3rd Family: C's family.
    • 4th Family: P's family.
  • Clue (vii): B came before D and met A. As D is 2nd, B and A must be associated with the 1st arrival.

Third Female Identification

To find the female who arrived third, we analyze the individuals in the arrival order:

  • The 3rd family to arrive is C's family. Therefore, C arrived third.
  • Clue (vi) states, "C's and A's daughters go to the same school." This implies C is a parent with daughters, confirming C is female.
  • Let's check other females:
    • A and B arrived first.
    • D arrived second.
    • P's wife arrived fourth (last).
  • Thus, C is the only female who arrived third.
