Asked in Premeth Test 42 — Atomic StructureModerate

Directions: Read the following information and give answer.The family has a man, his wife, their four sons and their wives. The family of every son also has 3 sons and one daughter. Find out the total number of male members in the whole family.

Correct answer: D. 17

  • A. 4
  • B. 8
  • C. 12
  • D. 17

Explanation

To find the total number of male members in the family, start by identifying each group: the man himself is 1 male, his four sons add 4 more males, and each of his four sons has 3 sons, adding 12 grandsons (4 × 3). This brings the total to 1 (man) + 4 (sons) + 12 (grandsons) = 17 male members. The incorrect options failed to count all the grandsons or miscalculated the initial members.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
