(4) is false
because they asked which one through (1) is false through(6). so (6) is true.
so one of three groups one group had 8 members
if men were 8 then childrens 1 and womens were 3. But in through condition (4) and (5) false. they asked only one is false.So this condition is wrong.
if childrens were 8 then men 1 and womens were 10. But in through condition (3),(4)and (5) false. So this condition is wrong.
if womens were 8 then childrens were 6 and mens 4. Through this condition all statements satisify except (4). So (4) is false.
