Bheja fry question

 This question I came across when I was watching the Internet.


Question 


7 men have 7 wives.  Each man and wife have 7 children. What's the total number of people ??



Answer 


Let's calculate 


7 men   +     7  wives     =     14   adults


Each of the 7 couple has 7 children. 


7 couple  *    7  children /couple   =    49  children


Total number of people  =  number of adults   +   number of children 


==>>    14   +    49   =    63   people
