    sir,
    twelve have six latter
    six have three latter

    &
    ten have three latter

    I think the ans is depend on latter’s
    and the basis of this logic the ans is “Three”
    Bcoz “Ten” have three latter

    the man should have said 2..
    because when doorman said 12
    club member- 1+2= 3*2=6

    when doormen said 6
    clubmember-6*2=12—1+2=3

    when doorman said 10
    man – 1+0=1*2=2
    so man should have said 2.
