ZERO. if it were one son and 2 daughters, how would the son have twice as many sisters as brothers if he has 0 brothers?

I love these brain teasers and it took me less than a minute to work this out...
The old man has 3 sons and 4 daughters...
Any one of his daughers would have 3 brothers and 3 sisters
Any one of his sons would have 2 brothers and 4 sisters (i.e. twice as many sisters)
