Correct option is D
Solution:
Let no. of brother be X and no. of sister be Y.
As Sohan says "I have as many sister as brothers"
⇒ (X - 1) = Y -----(1) (He himself be not counted)
as Pooja says "Each of us sister has only half as many sister as brothers".
⇒ Y - 1 = 0.5 × X ----- (2) (She herself be not counted)
Solving both equation,
Rearranging (1) ⇒ X = Y + 1 --------- (3)
Substituting (3) into (2) ⇒ Y - 1 = 0.5 × (Y + 1) -------- (4)
Solving (4)
⇒ 2Y - 2 = Y + 1
⇒
Y = 3
Substituting Y = 3 into (3)
We get: X = 3 + 1 =
4
Therefore, answer is 3 Sister and 4 brother
Hence, the correct answer is
"4 brothers and 3 sister".
