To solve this problem, let's analyze the information given:
1. Tim is Tara's brother.
2. Tara tells her friend Tanya that she has as many sisters as brothers.
Based on this information, we can draw the following conclusions:
1. Tim is Tara's brother, so she has at least one brother.
2. Tara tells Tanya that she has as many sisters as brothers. This means that the number of Tara's sisters is equal to the number of Tara's brothers.
Now, let's analyze the answer choices:
a) 1 brother and 2 sisters: This option does not satisfy the condition that Tara has as many sisters as brothers. It implies that Tara has 1 brother and 2 sisters, which is not equal.
b) 1 brother and 1 sister: This option satisfies the condition that Tara has as many sisters as brothers. It implies that Tara has 1 brother and 1 sister.
c) 2 brothers and 1 sister: This option does not satisfy the condition that Tara has as many sisters as brothers. It implies that Tara has 2 brothers and 1 sister, which is not equal.
d) 2 brothers and 2 sisters: This option does not satisfy the condition that Tara has as many sisters as brothers. It implies that Tara has 2 brothers and 2 sisters, which is not equal.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b' - 1 brother and 1 sister. This option satisfies the condition that Tara has as many sisters as brothers.

According to the question, Tim is a male and Tara is a female. Now, Tara says she has as many sisters as brothers.
If Tara has only one brother, this means Tara also has one sister.
Therefore, in Tara's family, there is 1 brother and 2 sisters.
If Tara has two brothers, this means Tara also has two sisters.
Therefore, in Tara's family, there are 2 brothers and 3 sisters, which is not in options.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
