The correct option is Three.
Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the gender and relationship of each family member:
1. Generations and Grandparents:
From statement (v), Mohan is the grandfather of Raman. From statement (iv), Vanita is the mother-in-law of Namita, and from statement (vi), Sarita is the granddaughter of Vanita. Thus, Mohan and Vanita belong to the 1st (oldest) generation and form a married couple (Mohan is male, Vanita is female).
2. Parents (2nd Generation):
There are two married couples in the family of six. The second couple consists of Charan and Namita.
- Statement (iv) mentions Vanita is Namita's mother-in-law, which means Namita is female and married to Vanita's son, Charan (male).
- Statement (ii) states Charan is a CA.
- Statement (vi) states Sarita's mother likes white colour, which means Namita (the mother in the 2nd generation) likes white colour.
3. Children (3rd Generation):
- Statement (v) tells us Raman is the grandchild (grandson) and a principal.
- Statement (vi) tells us Sarita is the granddaughter of Vanita, so Sarita is female.

- Vanita: Grandmother / Mother-in-law (Female)
- Charan: Husband / Father (Male)
- Namita: Wife / Mother (Female)
- Sarita: Granddaughter (Female)
