If D and A are twins (son/daughter), and D is best, her twin A is male. If the worst is S (female), they are opposite sex. This fits the logic puzzles common in IQ tests.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Let b be brothers and s be sisters. For Lata: s-1 = b. For Shyam: s = 2(b-1). Substituting s = b+1 into the second: b+1 = 2b - 2, so b = 3. Then s = 4. Total children = 3 + 4 = 7.
