The answer is quite simple. When you say there are two fathers and two sons, there are totally only 3 persons. Here is how it works out:
Let the youngest son be called Bob
Since there are two fathers, Bob has a father, who is called James.
Now, the next person is James's father, who is called Jack.
Therefore Bob is James' son and James is Jack's son. Therefore, there are two sons.
James is Bob's father and Jack is James' father. Therefore there are two fathers.
So, these three people will share 3 hunted rabbits equally.

Hi Prasu_anju,
I think you wanna test our thinking power.
When you say there are two fathers and two sons, there are totall only 3 persons. Here is how it works out:
"Let the youngest son be called Tyson
Since there are two fathers, Tyson has a father, who is called Kai.
Now, the next person is Kai's father, who is called Kenny.
Therefore Tyson is Kai' son and Kai is Kenny's son. Therefore, there are two sons.
Kai is Tyson's father and Kenny is Kai's father. Therefore there are two fathers.
So, these three people will share 3 hunted rabbits equally.

Its quite simple. There are three people only in fact, and not four. They are : a grandfather, a father and the son. Thus the grandfather is the father of the father (hence two fathers). The father is the son of the grandfather(hence two sons). Three people will thus get one rabbit each. QED.
