Can you solve it?

Check the solution below:

To solve this problem, let’s break it down step by step.

There are 7 men.

Each of the 7 men has 7 wives.

First, let’s calculate the total number of wives:

7 men x7 wives / man =49 wives

Now, each man and each wife has 7 children.

Let’s calculate the total number of children each

man has (since he has 7 wives, each having 7 children):

7 wivesx7 children/wife=49 children per man

Since there are 7 men, the total number of children is:

7 menx49 children/man=343 children

Finally, let’s add up all the people:

7 men

49 wives

343 children

So, the total number of people is:

7+49+343=399

Thus, the total number of people is 399.
