Blood Relation Questions and Answers

Answer: A

F is the father of L.

Decode the symbols: F & G means F is the husband of G; G % K means G is the mother of K; K + L means K is the sister of L. K and L are sisters or sister and brother, so G is also the mother of L. F, being G's husband, is therefore L's father.

Mother and sister would apply to a woman, and brother would need a different symbol chain, so only father fits.

Always work through the chain in order. The husband of G is F, G is the mother of K, and K is a sister of L, so G is the mother of both K and L. That means F is the father of L, not a brother (which would need a male symbol) and not a sister or mother (which need a female).

Answer: C

The minimum is 10 members. Take a grandfather and grandmother, their son A and his wife, and their daughter C and her husband. Then A has a son and a daughter, and C has a son and a daughter. Fathers: the grandfather, A and C's husband, 3. Mothers: the grandmother, A's wife and C, 3. Sons: A and the two grandsons, 3. Daughters: C and the two granddaughters, 3. Nieces: each granddaughter is the niece of the other's parent, 2. Nephews: likewise 2. The son-in-law is C's husband and the daughter-in-law is A's wife. The count is 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 10, and each person fills several roles, so no smaller family fits. The larger numbers 11, 12 and 13 would need extra people.

Answer: B

U is the son's wife of Y. Decode T ÷ U + V × W − X × Y: T is the father of U; U is the wife of V; V is the son of W; W is the mother of X; X is the son of Y.

W is the mother of both V and X, so V and X are brothers, and X is Y's son, which makes Y the parent of V as well. U is V's wife, so U is the wife of Y's son, which is the son's wife (daughter-in-law) of Y. Daughter, sister and mother would all need U to be a blood relative of Y, which no link in the chain gives.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these

Taking the options in turn: the first ends with N as the father of P’s mother, so N is a grandfather, not a grandmother; the second makes N the mother of P’s husband’s father, a grandmother-in-law rather than P’s own; and the third again makes N a father. None gives the relation asked for, so the answer is none of these.

A is B’s son and D is the son of C, who is B’s sister. So A’s parent and D’s parent are brother and sister, which makes A and D cousins.

Answer: C

Brother of person's wife → brother-in-law of the person. Hence, the son of lady's brother is brother-in-law of the person.

Therefore, the brother of the lady is the father-in-law of the person. Hence, the lady is the sister of the person's father-in-law.
