It is not possible to answer the question because:
- the total number of children that the couple had is not known;
- the gender of the child depends [mainly] on the father, and is not 0.5;
- the gender of each child is not independent of the gender of previous children.

Since each outcome is of equal probability it means there's a 25% chance the first will be a girl and the second will be a boy.
