Harriet must have 2 sisters and 5 brothers. 2 * 5 = ?
a).8
To find the product of S and B, we need to first determine the values of S and B.
We are given that Harry has 3 sisters and 5 brothers. Let's assign these values to the variables: S = 3 and B = 5.
Next, we are told that Harry's sister, Harriet, has S sisters and B brothers. Plug in the values of S and B: Harriet has 3 sisters and 5 brothers.
Now, we can find the product of S and B by multiplying these values: 3 * 5 = 15.
Therefore, the product of S and B is 15, so the correct answer is (D) 15.
