A is a male and married to B. So, A is the husband and B is the wife. C is the brother of A. D is the son of C. E, who is the sister of D will be the daughter of C. B is the daughter-in-law of F whose husband has died means F is the mother of A. 

A is a male. B. the wife, is female. C. the brother, is male. D. the son, is male. E, the sister, is female. F, the mother, is a female. So, there are three males.

When at least 2 women are included.

The committee may consist of 3 women, 2 men : It can be done in  4C3*6C2  ways

or, 4 women, 1 man : It can be done in  4C4*6C1ways

or, 2 women, 3 men : It can be done in 4C2*6C3 ways.

Total number of ways of forming the committees

= 4C2*6C3+4C3*6C2+4C4*6C1

= 6 x 20 + 4 x 15 + 1x 6

= 120 + 60 + 6 =186

Given number series is 9 17 11 19 13 

Here the pattern is

• 9

• 9 + 8 = 17

• 17 - 6 = 11

• 11 + 8 = 19

• 19 - 6 = 13

• 13 + 8 = 21

• 21 - 6 = 15

• 15 + 8 = 23

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 2.

The time difference is (2 - 1) 1 day while B take 2 days and A takes 1 day.

If difference of time is 1 day, B takes 2 days.

If difference of time is 30 days, B takes 2 x 30 = 60 days.

So, A takes 30 days to do the work.

A's 1 day's work = 1/30

B's 1 day's work = 1/60

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20

A and B together can do the work in 20 days.
