Pointing to a boy in the photograph Reena said, "He is the only son of the only child of my grandfather." How Reena is related to that boy?
This is a blood relations question. We need to deduce the relationship between Reena and the boy in the photograph by breaking down the statement made by Reena.
Correct Option: B) Sister
If the boy is the only son of Reena's parent, and Reena is also a child of that same parent, then Reena must be the boy's sister.
Pointing to a man in a photograph Mangai said, "His mother's only daughter is my mother." How is Mangai related to that man ?
This is a blood relation problem. We need to deduce the relationship between Mangai and the man in the photograph by carefully analyzing the statement made by Mangai. We will break down the statement into smaller parts to understand the relationships.
Correct Option: D) Niece
Arnav told Anjali, "The girl I met yesterday at the beach was the youngest daughter of the brother-in-law of my friend's mother." How is the girl related to Arnav's friend ?
This is a blood relation problem. To solve this, we need to break down the statement from the end and trace the relationships step-by-step to find the connection between the girl and Arnav's friend.
Let's re-evaluate the "brother-in-law" part for clarity:
In all plausible interpretations of "brother-in-law" in this context, the girl is the daughter of an uncle (maternal or paternal) of Arnav's friend. Therefore, the girl is Arnav's friend's cousin.
Correct Option: D) The girl is the cousin of Arnav's friend.
A is the brother of B and C. D is C's mother. E is A's father. Which of the following statements cannot be definitely true ?
E is husband of D
E is father of B
A is son of D
B is E's son
This is a blood relations question. We need to deduce the relationships between the individuals based on the given statements and then identify which of the provided options cannot be definitively true. We will use standard symbols for family trees: circles for females, squares for males, vertical lines for parent-child relationships, and horizontal lines for siblings or spouses.
D) B is E's son
A’s son B is married with C whose sister D is married to E the brother of B. How D is related to A?
This is a blood relation problem. We need to establish the relationships between the individuals mentioned in the problem statement to determine how D is related to A. We can use a family tree or step-by-step deduction.
Correct Option: B) Daughter-In-Law — D is married to E, who is A's son (brother of B, who is also A's son). Therefore, D is the daughter-in-law of A.
Directions for the following four questions are given below (Questions 18-21)
Garv is the son of Sashi. Heer is the father of Manu. Garv is married to Devi. Garv and Manu are siblings. Prem is the brother of Devi. Sashi has only one son. Riyan is the son of Garv. Prem is the father of Kaka. Joshi is the daughter of Manu. Prem has no daughters. How many female(s) members are there in the family?
To determine the number of female members in the family, we will construct a family tree based on the given relationships. We will assign genders where explicitly stated or inferable and then count the total number of female individuals.
Let's list the family members and their determined genders:
The female members identified are:
There are 3 female members.
Wait, let's re-evaluate the statement "Sashi has only one son". Garv is the son of Sashi. Garv and Manu are siblings. If Sashi has only one son (Garv), and Manu is Garv's sibling, then Manu must be female. This is correct. So, Manu is female.
Let's re-list the female members:
The total count is 3. Let's check the options. Option C is 4. This means I might have missed one or made an incorrect inference. Let's re-read carefully.
Garv is the son of Sashi. (Garv: M)
Heer is the father of Manu. (Heer: M)
Garv is married to Devi. (Devi: F)
Garv and Manu are siblings. (Manu is sibling of Garv)
Prem is the brother of Devi. (Prem: M)
Sashi has only one son. (Garv is the son. Since Garv and Manu are siblings, and Garv is the only son, Manu must be female.) (Manu: F)
Riyan is the son of Garv. (Riyan: M)
Prem is the father of Kaka. (Kaka's gender unknown yet)
Joshi is the daughter of Manu. (Joshi: F)
Prem has no daughters. (Since Prem is father of Kaka and has no daughters, Kaka must be male.) (Kaka: M)
Female members identified:
This still gives 3. Let's consider Sashi. Sashi is a parent of Garv (male) and Manu (female). The statement "Sashi has only one son" implies Sashi is a parent. If Sashi were male, then Sashi would be the father. If Sashi were female, then Sashi would be the mother. The gender of Sashi is not explicitly given. However, in such problems, if a person is mentioned as a parent and their gender is not specified, they are sometimes assumed to be the opposite gender of the other parent if one is known, or left ambiguous if not. Here, we know Heer is the father of Manu. Since Manu is also Sashi's child, Sashi must be the mother of Manu (and Garv). Therefore, Sashi is female.
Let's re-evaluate with Sashi as female:
Female members:
Total female members = 4.
C) 4
The four female members are Sashi, Devi, Manu, and Joshi.
