Blood Relation Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: son in law

The brother of my wife is Anupam’s brother-in-law, and that man’s only daughter is Anupam’s niece. She is said to be the sister-in-law of the lady’s brother, which ties the two families together and places the lady in Anupam’s own household as his daughter. Her husband is therefore Anupam’s son-in-law.

Answer: D

Correct answer: A % B x C + D

A % B makes A the daughter of B; B × C makes B the wife of C, so C is A’s father; and C + D makes C the brother of D. D is therefore the brother of A’s father - her uncle.

Answer: B

Correct answer: P is the maternal uncle of A.

Z is the mother of Q, and C is Q’s sister, so Z is C’s mother too. P is Z’s son, and therefore the brother of both Q and C. Since A is C’s son, P is A’s maternal uncle. The other statements fail: P and A are uncle and nephew rather than cousins, Q is female and so cannot be a grandfather, and C and P are sister and brother.

Answer: A

M is the father of N and N is the son of V.

Hence, V is the mother of N.

From (1), P is the brother of V

Therefore, M is the brother-in-law of P because V is the wife of M.

From (2), the daughter of N, is the granddaughter of V. From this we do not get any relation of M to P.

Answer: D

Correct answer: I x C + N - J

I × C makes I the sister of C; C + N makes C the daughter of N, so I too is N’s daughter; and N – J makes N the brother of J. A brother’s daughter is a niece, so I is the niece of J.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these

Taking the options in turn: P + N * M * Q makes Q the great-grandchild of P, not the other way about. Q * N * M + P puts three generations between Q and P, making him P’s great-grandfather. Q β M β N * P makes Q the brother of P’s father - an uncle. None gives a grandfather, so the answer is none of these.

Answer: A

N β P → N is the brother of P

P - L → P is the sister of L

L + E → L is the mother of E

E - M → E is the sister of M.

Hence, L is the mother of M, P is the maternal aunt of M and N is the maternal uncle of M

Answer: C

Correct answer: C @ B % F % E

C @ B makes C the sister of B, so C is female; B % F makes B the son of F, so C too is F’s child; and F % E makes F the son of E. A daughter of E’s son is E’s granddaughter.

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these

Taking the options in turn: S @ P $ Q makes S the sister of Q’s father - an aunt. Q @ P % S makes P the son of S, so S is a parent of Q - but nothing says S is male, so “father” is not established. Q $ S @ P makes Q the father of S, the reverse of what is wanted. So the answer is none of these.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Aunt

My mother’s father is Amar’s maternal grandfather, whose only son is Amar’s maternal uncle. The girl’s mother is that man’s sister, so she and Amar’s mother are sisters - making the girl’s mother Amar’s aunt.
