1. The number of males equals that of females.
2. A and E are sons of F.

UPSC - 2017
A, B and C are all females.
A is husband of D.
E and F are children of D.
D is the daughter of F.
We need to deduce the family relationships and genders of the six members (A, B, C, D, E, F) based on the given statements. We will construct a family tree or list relationships and genders as we go, ensuring all conditions are met.
Now let's evaluate the options.
Correct Option: B) A is husband of D.
From our deduction, A is male and D is female, and they are the only married couple with children B and C. Thus, A is the husband of D.
A joint family consists of seven members A, B,C, D, E, F and G with three females. G is widow and sister-in-law of D's father F. B and D are siblings and A is daughter of B. C is cousin of B. Who is E?
1. Wife of F
2. Grandmother of A
3. Aunt of C
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
UPSC - 2019
This is a blood relations problem. We need to construct a family tree based on the given clues and then identify the relationship of E with other members. We will denote males with (+) and females with (-) and use lines to represent relationships (e.g., = for spouse, | for parent-child, -- for siblings).
D) 1, 2 and 3
All three statements about E are correct based on the constructed family tree.
A boy asked saranya what is her relation to Amit to which she said, " Amit is the only brother of my son-in-law's wife. What is the relationship between saranya and Amit ?
Mother and Son
Father and son
Aunt and Nephew
None of the above
To solve this blood relation puzzle, we need to break down Saranya's statement step-by-step, identifying each relationship mentioned, and then combine them to find the final relationship between Saranya and Amit.
A) Mother and Son — As derived from the step-by-step analysis, Amit is Saranya's son.
A + B ' means ' A is the brother of B '
' A - B ' means ' A is the mother of B '
' A * B ' means ' A is the husband of B '
' A / B ' means ' A is the sister of B '
If C / M - S + K - T * Q, then which of the following statements is not correct ?
S is father of Q
K is the mother-in-law of Q
S is maternal Uncle of T
M is the mother of K
This is a blood relations problem. We need to decode the given relationships and then construct a family tree or use symbols to represent the relationships between the individuals. Finally, we will check each statement against our derived relationships to find the one that is not correct.
A) S is father of Q
A is the sister of B whose father is D. If the wife of D is E whose only son C has two sisters then identify how is B related to E ?
This is a blood relation question. We need to establish the relationships between the individuals mentioned in the problem statement step-by-step and then determine how B is related to E.
D) Daughter — Based on the analysis, E is the mother of B, and B is female (sister of A and C). Therefore, B is the daughter of E.
A is the son of C; C and Q are sisters; Z is the mother of Q and P is the son of Z. Which of the following statements is true?
P and A are cousins
P is the maternal uncle of A
Q is the maternal grandfather of A
C and P are sisters
This is a blood relation problem. We need to deduce the relationships between the individuals mentioned in the statements and then evaluate each given option to find the true statement. We can use a family tree or symbolic representation to keep track of the relationships.
B) P is the maternal uncle of A
