None of the above

Identify that the brother is shared by all sisters; since each sister has only one brother, there is only one male sibling for all of them.
Identify that the brother is shared by all sisters; since each sister has only one brother, there is only one male sibling for all of them.
Analyze the Father
Suket is explicitly identified as a male, which gives us our first male member.
Analyze the Children
The problem states Suket has three daughters. It also says each daughter has a brother. In a family, a brother is shared by all siblings. Thus, the three daughters have one common brother.
Calculate Total Males
Total males = Suket (1) + The shared brother (1) = 2 male members.
B: 4 implies counting the daughters as males, which is incorrect. C: 3 ignores that the brother is shared, leading to an extra count. D: 1 fails to include the father who is explicitly named as male.
A is correct because Suket counts as one male, and the three sisters share one single brother, totaling two male members.
In blood relation puzzles, always identify shared siblings first; if every sister has 'a' brother, it does not mean there are as many brothers as sisters.
