each girl has 4 brothers and 2 sisters (twice) - 15 years agoHelpfull: Yes(30) No(2)
- let number of boys be B and sisters be S so from question B-1=S
B=2(S-1)

Since the boys have as many brothers as sisters,there must be 1 boy more than the number of girls and by this we also get to know that this solution fulfill the requirement that each girl has twice as many brothers as sisters(here 1 girl will have 2 sisters and twice of that i.e 4 brothers) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)

- Let the number of boys be B and the number of girls be G
B+G=7
each boy has B-1 brothers and G sisters
=> B-1=G
=>B=G+1
G+G+1=7
2G=6
G=3
B=G+1=4
Hence 4 boys and three girls
