BLOOD RELATIONS or Blood Relationship

Blood-relation or Blood Relationship problems arises through the particular relations among family members. In general, the problems  contain three stages of family. It explains through a statement, and we must analyze the relation between them.

To solve such problems, we start from grand father or mother and classify into three stages. We represent male member by  □ and female member by O. In case of siblings we use—(dash) between them.

Example. In the family of A, B, C, D, E and F. There are (wo married couple. D is the grand-mother

of A and mother of B. C is the wife of B and mother of F. F is grand daughter of E and A is brother of F.

What is C to A?

Solution. We start from D as follows

 i.e. C is mother of A.

Some problems are also based on relationship between imaginary people. Several statements are given which may confuse a person and at times may also appear contradictory and false. The point is to look at each part of a given statement carefully, draw a diagram or table based on the statement(s) and arrive at a conclusion.

Mother’s or Father’s Daughter                       Sister

Mother’s or Father’s Brother             Uncle
