This study is motivated by Brar et al. and two general classes along special members are presented. The bias and MSE are derived up to order one. For significance, a real data of number of apples and the number of trees which consists of extreme values are considered. The findings conclude that the proposed estimators perform better than the existing ones but when we choose $G_{(x)}=Q \cdot D$ and $H_{(x)}=1 \mathrm{in}$. the first proposed estimator, and $G_{(x)}=1$ in the second proposed estimator, the relative efficiency is increased by 200 and 355 , respectively. Similarly, the simulation study concluded that the same members of the proposed families outperform as compared to others with different sample sizes and correlation values.
