There are several reasons that the question cannot have a proper answer. The first is that children's gender are not independent events. It is, therefore, wrong to multiply probabilities. Second, the probability of a girl is not 1/2. Current statistics show that it is approx 0.48.

However, if you wish to ignore these relevant facts, the [incorrect] answer that is expected is 1/4.
