Blood Relation Practice Test for Verbal Reasoning

A-C+D x B is read as: A-C (A is the brother of C), C+D (C is the mother of D), D x B (D is the sister of B).
Since C is the mother of D, and D is the sister of B, C is also the mother of B (D and B share the same mother, C).
A is the brother of C, who is B's mother -- so A is B's maternal uncle.

A's only sister is C's mother, and D is the mother of C's mother. A and that sister have the same mother, so D is A's mother and A is D's child. A's gender is not given; of the options, only Daughter fits.

Rohan is Anita's mother's brother, so Rohan and Anita's mother are siblings, sharing the same mother.
Rohan's mother is therefore also Anita's mother's mother -- i.e., Rohan's mother is the mother of Anita's mother.

Rohan is Anita's mother's brother, and Anita's mother and Prateek's mother are sisters (sharing the same parents as Rohan).
So Rohan is also the brother of Prateek's mother -- making Rohan the (maternal) uncle of Prateek.

A is confirmed to be the son of C. B, also a child of C, is NOT the daughter -- so B must also be a son.
Since A and B are both sons of C, A is the brother of B.

A%B: A is the father of B. B@K: B is the sister of K. K*H: K is the wife of H. H%P: H is the father of P.
Since K is H's wife and H is P's father, K is P's mother. B is K's sister, making B the maternal aunt of P.

A is the mother of D. G is the husband of A -- meaning G is D's father.

P's son is S's brother, so S is P's daughter (they share the same father, P).
R and S are sisters, so R is also P's daughter.
Q, being P's brother, is therefore R's (paternal) uncle.

A is G's grandfather and C is G's parent, so the two fathers are A and C (C is A's son), and E is the only mother. The four brothers must be F (brother of E), C and D (E is D's sister-in-law, so D is C's brother) and H (brother of G). So C and E are a couple, G and H are their children, and H is male. H is the son of A's son, so H is A's grandson.

C is B's daughter, and D is B's son -- so C and D are siblings.
E is married to C, making D (C's brother) the brother-in-law of E.

Males: D (grandfather), A (father), B (A's brother), F (grandson) = 4.
Females: C (F's sister), E (A's wife, the mother) = 2.

S (P's wife, since K is her brother and also P's brother-in-law) is G's mother, making P the likely father of G -- but G's own gender is never stated in the given information, so the specific relation (son vs. daughter) cannot be determined.

Original man = 1
His 4 sons = 4
Each son has 3 sons (grandsons) = 4 × 3 = 12
Total male members = 1 + 4 + 12 = 17

Known males are E (grandfather) and B (son); D and C are female, and F (granddaughter) is female
A's gender is not specified in the given information, so the exact number of male members cannot be determined

Shailesh has two sons: Manak and Rajan
Sandhya is Shailesh's daughter-in-law and Rajan's sister-in-law, meaning she is married to Rajan's brother, i.e. Manak
So Sandhya is Manak's wife

Q is R's mother and P is Q's daughter, so P and R are siblings (children of Q)
S is R's brother, so S is also Q's child, making S and P siblings too
So S is P's brother

A#B: A is the mother of B. B$C: B is the brother of C (so B and C are A's children, siblings). C*D: C is the daughter of D.
Since B and C are A's children, and D is C's other parent, D must be A's spouse -- the father of B and C.

Q-P: Q is the mother of P. P+R: R is the brother of P (so P and R share the same parents). R%T: R is the father of T.
Since P and R are siblings and Q is P's mother, Q is also R's mother. R is T's father, so Q is T's (paternal) grandmother.

The two fathers are A and C (A is G's grandfather and C is G's parent), and E is the only mother. The four brothers are C, D (E is D's sister-in-law), F (brother of E) and H (brother of G), and the two sisters are E and G. So the males are A, C, D, F and H: 5 male members.

Q's mother is P's sister and M's daughter -- so P and Q's mother are siblings, both children of M, making M the parent of P.
S is P's daughter (sister of T, so T is also P's child), meaning M is the grandparent of T (via P).
Since M's own gender isn't established by the given clues (only that M has a daughter), M could be either grandfather or grandmother.

A is B's sister, and C is B's mother -- so A is also C's daughter (sharing the same mother as B).
D is C's father, making D the grandfather of A (C's child).
So A is D's granddaughter.

D is the father of A and the grandfather of F, so A is F's parent and the two fathers are D and A. The only mother must be E, so E is A's wife, and B, the brother of E's husband, is A's brother. C is F's sister, and the third brother is F. So the three brothers are A, B and F.

The prisoner has no siblings, so "my father's son" refers to the prisoner himself.
"My father's son's son" is therefore the prisoner's own son.

U is the sister of S, who is O's son -- so U is also O's daughter.
T is B's son. Since O and B are brothers, U and T are children of brothers -- making them cousins.

The lady's brother's son is the brother of the man's wife, so the lady's brother is the father of the man's wife, i.e. the man's father-in-law
The lady is therefore the sister of the man's father-in-law

E is the daughter of B, and D is the brother of E, so D is also a child of B
B is the child of A, so A is the grandmother of D

T is the mother of both Q and R (since they are sisters)
S, being T's son, is the brother of Q and R
Since P is Q's son, S (Q's brother) is P's maternal uncle

'Y's son' is Y's child; the son of that person is Y's grandson
X is the brother of that grandson, so X is also Y's grandson

R is Q's mother, and P is Q's husband, so R is P's mother-in-law

Y is A's child but not A's son, so Y must be A's daughter

Uday's mother's daughter is Uday's sister. Teena's mother is therefore Uday's sister, which makes Uday the brother of Teena's mother, i.e. Teena's maternal uncle.

The woman's mother's husband is her father, so the aunt named is her father's sister. If the man's father is also the woman's father, the man is her brother. If one of the man's parents is a brother or sister of the woman's father, the man is her cousin. Both cases fit the statement, so the man is either her cousin or her brother.

Ritu's mother's mother is Ritu's maternal grandmother. Her only son is Ritu's mother's brother, i.e. Ritu's maternal uncle. Since Harsh is Ritu's maternal uncle, Ritu is his niece.

E is the daughter of B, and D is the brother of E, so D is also a child of B. A is the brother of B, so A is B's sibling, which makes A the uncle of D (B's child).

Since B (married to D) already has G as their child, E (married to A, the other brother) must be the mother of the remaining two children, C and F. Since only F and G are stated as girls, C must be a boy -- A's son.

A+B: A is mother of B. B#C: B is father of C. C-D: C is brother of D (so C and D are siblings, both children of B). Since A is B's mother and B is D's father, A is D's grandmother.
