Introduction

Humans are social animals and we all maintain relations with our kith and kin. The questions asked in Blood relationship topic are based on the chain of relationships that we share with our kith and kin. In this type of questions the examiner defines simple relationships using complicated set of definitions. The students need to understand the definitions to solve the given problems. So to answer these questions quickly and correctly through practice is a must. Students must practice these questions carefully and systematically. But before practicing the related questions let us know few basics, tips and tricks about the topic blood relations.

 

Few important tips

  1. Pay attention to the questions asked in the exam without your personal preferences or pre-convinced ideas.
  2. Students must read through all the given information carefully.
  3. Correlate the given relationships
  4. Be careful about the gender of the persons. If we forget the gender, the answer may be wrong.

Gender of the person is not always necessary to define a relationship.

For example, consider X is the grandchild of A and B...

Here, we cannot say who is the grandmother or grandfather of the child. We cannot even say whether X is granddaughter or grandson. From the given statement we can just conclude that, A and B are the grandparents of X. So knowledge of the gender is not always necessary to define a relationship between two persons.

 

Steps in deducing the answer

  1. Read the information and find the two persons between whom the relation is to be established.
  2. Know the intermediate relationships through which long drawn relationships can be established.
  3. Finally conclude the relationship between the two persons as required

Types of Blood-relationship questions

Coding relations

In this type the relationships are represented by certain codes or symbols. Then these codes are analyzed to conclude the answer as per the requirement of the question.

Example: If P+Q means P is sister of Q; P-Q means P is brother of Q; PxQ means P is the daughter of Q, which of the following shows the relation that R is the maternal uncle of S?

  1. S + T x R
  2. S - T x R
  3. S x T + R
  4. S x T - R

Solution: For R to be maternal uncle of S, R should be brother of T and T should be mother of S. Option C satisfies this criteria and the code (S x T + R) is the answer.

Relationship puzzle

In this type, relationships are puzzled. Only the information about few persons are mentioned and information about few others is expressed in the form of a puzzle. Students need to solve the puzzle to conclude the answer.

Example: P and Q is a married couple. A and B are brothers. A is the brother of P. How is B related to Q?

Solution: P and Q are husband and wife. Since A and B are brothers and A is the brother of P, B should also be the brother of P. So, B is brother-in-law of Q.

Jumbled relationships

A round about description is given about few direct and few indirect relationships of the family. Student needs to conclude the answers as per the requirement of the question.

Example: Sunil introduced Anil as the son of the only brother of his father’s wife. How is Anil related to Sunil?

Solution: Solve this kind of question in reverse order, Father’s wife is mother, Mothers only brother is Uncle, Uncles son is obviously cousin. So Anil is Sunil’s cousin. p>
