Two mothers and two daughters were fishing.Thy managed to catch one big fish , one small fish and one fat fish .

SINCE THEY CAUGHT A TOTAL OF ONLY THREE FISH , HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY EACH TOOK HOME A FISH ?

PLEASE.... EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER :)

Is it possible that the three women are grandmother, mother, and daughter?

Four fish

The solution to this riddle/dilemma lies in the relationships between the individuals mentioned.

If we carefully analyze the statement, it says that there are two mothers and two daughters fishing. This means that there are a total of four people who went fishing. Let's give them names to make it easier to understand:

- Mother 1 (M1)
- Mother 2 (M2)
- Daughter 1 (D1)
- Daughter 2 (D2)

Now, let's look at the fish that were caught:

- One big fish
- One small fish
- One fat fish

Based on the information given, the total number of fish caught is three. However, the riddle asks how it is possible that each person took home a fish.

The answer lies in the fact that the four individuals mentioned are actually just three people. By re-analyzing the relationships, we see that there are two mothers and two daughters, but one of the mothers is also a daughter. This means that one of the individuals fulfills two roles: being a mother and being a daughter.

To summarize:

- Mother 1 (M1) is also Daughter 2 (D2)
- Mother 2 (M2)
- Daughter 1 (D1)

Considering this information, let's now distribute the fish:

- Mother 1 (M1) takes the big fish
- Mother 2 (M2) takes the small fish
- Daughter 1 (D1) takes the fat fish

Therefore, each person (Mother 1, Mother 2, and Daughter 1) took home one fish, and the number of fish caught (three) matches the number of people (three) mentioned in the riddle.

In this scenario, it is possible for each person to take home a fish because one of the individuals can be both a mother and a daughter. Let's break down the situation step by step:

We know that there are two mothers and two daughters.

- Mother 1
- Daughter 1
- Mother 2
- Daughter 2

They managed to catch three fish - one big fish, one small fish, and one fat fish.

Here's how the distribution of the fish can work:

1) Mother 1 catches the big fish, which means she has a fish.
2) Daughter 1 catches the small fish, which means she has a fish.
3) Mother 2 takes home the fat fish, which means she has a fish.

In this scenario, all three individuals have taken home a fish: Mother 1 has the big fish, Daughter 1 has the small fish, and Mother 2 has the fat fish.

The key to understanding the answer lies in recognizing that one individual can fulfill both roles of being a mother and a daughter. This is why it is possible for each person to take home a fish even though there are only three fish caught.
