A,B,C,D,E and F are six members of a family. A is mother of B, who is the husband of D. F is the brother of one of the parents of C. D is the daughter in law of E and has no siblings. C is son of D. How is C related to A?
- Son
- Grandson
- Brother
- Brother in law
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To solve this logical reasoning problem, we need to analyze the relationships within the family and determine how C is related to A. We'll go through the statements given step-by-step:
- A is the mother of B. This establishes that A and B share a mother-child relationship.
- B is the husband of D. This indicates that B and D are married.
- F is the brother of one of the parents of C. Since B is one of the parents of C (as B and D are married), F can either be the brother of B or the brother of D. Since D has no siblings (given in the next statement), F must be B's brother.
- D is the daughter-in-law of E and has no siblings. This confirms D's relation to B's family and that she is married into the family, making her the daughter-in-law of E. Since E is the parent of B and A is B's mother, E is B's father.
- C is the son of D. C is the child of B and D, making C the grandson of A (since A is B's mother).
From the statements provided and relationships deduced, we determine that C is A's grandson.
Thus, the correct answer is: Grandson
Top Questions on Blood Relations
In a small town lived a close-knit family where every relation could be expressed through simple symbols. For instance, when they said \( A \times B \), it meant \( A \) is the father of \( B \), while \( A \div B \) meant \( A \) is the mother of \( B \). The younger ones were often introduced with \( A + B \), meaning \( A \) was the daughter of \( B \), and the bond of brotherhood was shown by \( A - B \) (A is brother of B).
One day, the children in the family turned these symbols into a playful code. Instead of introducing their parents and siblings in words, they spoke only in symbols. “Look,” giggled little Meena, “\( M + N \div O \)!” Everyone laughed, because they knew it meant Meena was the daughter of \( N \), and \( N \) was the mother of \( O \), making her \( O \)’s sister. What started as a code soon became a family game, making the bonds of father, mother, daughter, and brother not just relations, but symbols of love and togetherness. (165 words)
