Detailed Solution & Explanation

To determine the total number of female members in the joint family, we systematically identify each individual based on the provided description and categorize them by gender. Step 1: Identify the core members of the joint family. The family consists of a father, a mother, 3 married sons, and one unmarried daughter. Step 2: Count the female members among these core individuals. The mother is a female member. (Count = 1) The unmarried daughter is a female member. (Count = 1) The father and the 3 sons are male members and are not included in the female count. Step 3: Account for the wives of the married sons. Since there are 3 married sons, each son has a wife. These wives are female members of the family. Number of wives = 3. (Count = 3) Step 4: Account for the children of the sons, specifically identifying female children. Out of the 3 sons: The first son has 2 daughters. These are female members. (Count = 2) The second son has 2 daughters. These are female members. (Count = 2) The third son has a son only. This child is male and does not add to the female count. Step 5: Sum all the identified female members. Total female members = (Mother) + (Unmarried Daughter) + (Wives of 3 sons) + (Daughters of first son) + (Daughters of second son) Total female members = 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 Total female members = 9 Therefore, the total number of female members in the family is 9. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
