Blood relation questions can be asked in two dierent ways.

Type I: In this case, the blood relation is not

coded.

Direction: M is the mother of B. A is the husband of M. N is the only

brother of B. C is married to N. Q is the only child of C. N does not

have any sister. J is the father of A.

Solution:

M is the mother of B.

A is the husband of M.

http://gradestack.com/blogs/basicsofbloodrelation/ 6/12
11/12/2016 BasicsofBloodRelation

N is the only brother of B.

C is married to N.

Q is the only child of C.

http://gradestack.com/blogs/basicsofbloodrelation/ 7/12
11/12/2016 BasicsofBloodRelation

N does not have any sister (Which means B is denitely his

brother).

J is the father of A.

Q.1) If A doesnt have any grandson, then how is Q related to B?

1. Cant be determined
2. Sister-in-law
3. Daughter-in-law
4. Niece
5. Nephew

http://gradestack.com/blogs/basicsofbloodrelation/ 8/12
11/12/2016 BasicsofBloodRelation

Solution: We can see that Q is either the grandson or

granddaughter of A. But as per the question, A doesnt have any
grandson which denitely assures that Q is As granddaughter.
So Q is Bs niece.

Q.2) How is A related to C?

1. Uncle
2. Cant be determined
3. Father-in-law
4. Nephew
5. Brother-in-law

Solution: A is Ns father and C is Ns wife. So A is father-in-law of

C.

Q.3) How is B related to J?

1. Father
2. Nephew
3. Brother-in-law
4. Brother
5. Grandson

Solution: B is son of Js son. So B is grandson of J.

Type II: In this case, the blood relation is coded.

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer
the question which follows:

A*B means A is son of B.

A+B means A is father of B.

A>B means A is daughter of B.

A<B means A is wife of B.

http://gradestack.com/blogs/basicsofbloodrelation/ 9/12
11/12/2016 BasicsofBloodRelation

Q.4) What will come in place of question mark (?), if it is provided

that M is grandmother of F in the expression F*R<S?M?

1. >
2. <
3. +
4. *
5. Cant be determined

Solution: F*R means F is son of R.

R<S means R is wife of S.

M is grandmother of F (given already) which means M is either

mother of S or R. So we cant determine the answer for this
questions using given options. So answer is 5.

So we have seen two dierent ways in which blood relation

questions can be asked. Sometimes blood relation concept is
used in sitting arrangements as well to make those questions
more tough. That application of blood relations will be discussed
in basics of sitting arrangement.
