Blood Relation Questions and Answers

Answer: C

L is E's Sister's daughter.

G is the son of M, and L is G's sister, so L is a daughter of M. M is married to D, so L is also D's daughter. D is the sister of E.

So L is the daughter of E's sister. C, S and P only describe E's parents and aunt or uncle and do not change this. L is female (a sister), so 'brother's daughter' is wrong because D is E's sister, not brother, and 'daughter' or 'wife's sister' have no basis.

Answer: C

A has Three children.

B is C's son and C is not his mother, so C is the father. A is married to C, so A is the mother of B. D is A's daughter, and F is B's brother, so F is also a child of A and C.

A's children are therefore B, D and F. E is C's brother, A's brother-in-law, not her child, so the count is three, not two or four.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Father

Work inwards from the innermost phrase. The only son of my mother is Suresh himself - he is male and his mother has no other son. The boy is therefore the son of Suresh, which makes Suresh the boy’s father.

Answer: C

Correct answer: P - M + N x Q

Read the chain left to right. P – M makes P the brother of M; M + N makes M the mother of N; N × Q makes N the sister of Q. So M is the mother of both N and Q, and P is M’s brother - that is, the brother of Q’s mother, which is exactly what maternal uncle means.

Answer: D

If D is Male, the answer is Nephew.

If D is Female, the answer is Niece.

As the sex of D is not known, hence, the relation between D and A cannot be determined.

Note: Niece - A daughter of one's brother or sister, or of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law. Nephew - A son of one's brother or sister, or of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

Answer: D

Correct answer: M x N - C + F

M × N makes M the father of N; N – C makes N the sister of C, so C is also M’s child; and C + F makes C the brother of F, which establishes that C is male. A male child of M is his son.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Brother

Unpack from the inside. The father of my uncle is the girl’s grandfather; his daughter is the girl’s mother; and that woman’s son is the girl’s brother.

Answer: C

Correct answer: His son

The speaker has no brothers, so my father’s son can only be the speaker himself. The sentence therefore says that the man in the photograph has the speaker for a father - so the photograph is of his son.

Answer: C
