Here is a Python solution. The input format is the name of the person we want to inquire about on the first line followed by any number of lines each containing a "<son> <father>" pair.

person = input()
father_of = {}
father_son_pair = input().split()
while father_son_pair:
    father_of[father_son_pair[0]] = father_son_pair[1]
    father_son_pair = input().split()    
num_grandchildren = 0
for son, father in father_of.items():
    if person == father:
        num_grandchildren += list(father_of.values()).count(son)
print(num_grandchildren)

Create tree with the following where list has all immediate child.
public class tNode
{
public List<tNode> Children { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}

Insert with something like this:
Insert(tNode current, string parentName, string childName)
{
if (current == null) //do not insert if parent not found
return;

if(current.Name == parentName) //parent found, insert child here
{
current.Children.Add(new tNode(childName));
}
else
{
foreach(tNode child in current.Children)
{
Insert(child, parentName, childName);
}
}
}
Search children with this:
private List<tNode> GetChildren(tNode current, string parentName)
{
Queue<tNode> q = new Queue<tNode>();
if (current == null)
return null;

q.Enqueue(current);

while(q.Count != 0)
{
tNode tmp = q.Dequeue();
if (tmp.Name == parentName) //found
return tmp.Children;
else
{
foreach (tNode child in tmp.Children)
{
q.Enqueue(child);
}
}
}

Count all children under a parent with this:
public int CountNumberOfDescendents(string nodeName)
{
List<tNode> children = GetChildren(nodeName);
Queue<tNode> q = new Queue<tNode>();
int count = 0;

foreach(tNode child in children)
{
q.Enqueue(child);
count++;
}

while(q.Count != 0)
{
tNode tmp = q.Dequeue();
foreach(tNode child in tmp.Children)
{
q.Enqueue(child);
count++;
}
}
return count;
}

Create tree with parent child relationship.
Node class something like this:

public class tNode
    {
        public List<tNode> Children { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }

Insert something like this:

Insert(tNode current, string parentName, string childName)
        {
            if (current == null) //do not insert if parent not found
                return;

            if(current.Name == parentName) //parent found, insert child here
            {
                current.Children.Add(new tNode(childName));
            }
            else
            {
                foreach(tNode child in current.Children)
                {
                    Insert(child, parentName, childName);
                }
            }

Search something like this:

List<tNode> GetChildren(tNode current, string parentName)
        {
            Queue<tNode> q = new Queue<tNode>();
            if (current == null)
                return null;

            q.Enqueue(current);

            while(q.Count != 0)
            {
                tNode tmp = q.Dequeue();
                if (tmp.Name == parentName) //found
                    return tmp.Children;
                else
                {
                    foreach (tNode child in tmp.Children)
                    {
                        q.Enqueue(child);
                    }
                }
            }
                        
            return null;    

        }

Count all children under a node like this:

public int CountNumberOfDescendents(string nodeName)
        {
            List<tNode> children = GetChildren(nodeName);
            Queue<tNode> q = new Queue<tNode>();
            int count = 0;

            foreach(tNode child in children)
            {
                q.Enqueue(child);
                count++;
            }

            while(q.Count != 0)
            {
                tNode tmp = q.Dequeue();
                foreach(tNode child in tmp.Children)
                {
                    q.Enqueue(child);
                    count++;
                }
            }
            return count;
        }
