Sweaty Chef's Xmas Party

At the Christmas party of the "Sweaty Chef" kebab shop, the owner Mr Juan, took note of how many people were present. Although he was a bit tipsy when he made his note, and thus made a mistake. His notes were as follows:-

1, There were 9 men and children.

2, There were 2 more women than children.

3, The number of different man-woman couples possible was 24. Note that if there were 7 men and 5 women, then there would have been 35 man-woman couples possible.

Also, of the three groups - men, women and children - at the party:

4, There were 4 of one group.

5, There were 6 of one group.

6, There were 8 of one group.
Exactly one of the above 6 statements is false.

Can you tell which one is false? Also, how many men, women and children are there at the party?

Answer

Statement (4) is false. There are 3 men, 8 women and 6 children.
Assume that Statements (4), (5) and (6) are all true. Then, Statement (1) is false. But then Statement (2) and (3) both can not be true. Thus, contradictory to the fact that exactly one statement is false.

So Statement (4) or Statement (5) or Statement (6) is false. Also, Statements (1), (2) and (3) all are true.

From (1) and (2), there are 11 men and women. Then from (3), there are 2 possible cases - either there are 8 men and 3 women or there are 3 men and 8 women.

If there are 8 men and 3 women, then there is 1 child. Then Statements (4) and (5) both are false, which is not possible.
