Let's analyze the given information step by step:

  • Family Members: A, B, C, D, and E.
  • Given conditions: 
    • Two fathers, two sons, two wives, three males, and two females.
    • D is the eldest, and C is the youngest.
    • B is a male.
    • The teacher was the wife of a lawyer who was the son of a doctor.

Identifying the Family Structure:

  1. D is the eldest → He is likely the grandfather (doctor).
