Question 1

Encoded relations (+ mother, − brother, % father, × sister): Make P the maternal uncle of Q.  Find the expression that ensures “P is the brother of Q’s mother”. Choose the correct option.

Accepted Answer

Decode the correct chain P − M: P is the brother of M. M + N: M is the mother of N. N × Q: N is the sister of Q ⇒ N and Q are siblings ⇒ they share mother M. Conclusion M is Q's mother and P is M's brother ⇒ P is Q's maternal uncle. Why others don’t work Q − N + M × P links P as sibling of M, but M isn’t shown as Q's mother. P + S × N − Q makes P a mother, not an uncle. Q − S % P relates S and P as father/child; no maternal link to Q.

Question 2

Question 6

Blood relations (compound statement parsing): Identify how the lady’s husband is related to Anupam.  Spoken by Anupam to a lady in a car: “The only daughter of the brother of my wife is the sister-in-law of the brother of your sister.”  Use standard…

Accepted Answer

Given data (rewrite with labels) My wife's brother = Anupam's brother-in-law. His only daughter = X. Lady's side: “the brother of your sister” = the lady's brother (LB). Statement: X is the sister-in-law of LB. For a man, “sister-in-law” means either (i) brother's wife, or (ii) wife's sister. Concept/Approach Test which interpretation makes the family graph consistent and also fixes the target relation “lady’s husband” ↔ Anupam. Step-by-step deduction • If X were LB's brother's wife, then X would be the wife of the lady's husband—contradiction (a man cannot have two wives here). So reject (i). • Therefore, X must be the wife’s sister of LB ⇒ LB is married to Y, where Y is X's sister. • X and Y are daughters of Anupam's wife's brother (maternal uncle's daughters). A common, consistent resolution is that the lady is Anupam's daughter; her brother (LB) married his maternal cousin Y (X's sister). Hence the lady’s husband is Anupam’s son-in-law. Quick verification If the lady is Anupam’s daughter, then “the brother of your sister” refers to Anupam’s son (LB). X (maternal-uncle’s daughter) being the sister-in-law of LB is satisfied when LB marries Y (X’s sister). Asked relation then matches: lady’s husband = Anupam’s son-in-law. Common pitfalls Confusing “brother of your sister” with the lady's husband; it refers to the lady's brother, not spouse.

Question 7

Blood relations (chain): Determine Sonia’s relation to Aamir from a nested description.  Aamir says: “She is the wife of the only nephew of the only brother of my mother.”  Work through mother → her only brother → his only nephew to identify who Son…

Accepted Answer

Unpack the chain “Only brother of my mother” ⇒ Aamir’s maternal uncle (unique). “Only nephew” of that uncle ⇒ among the uncle’s siblings’ sons, there is only one male—this is (most parsimoniously) Aamir himself. “Wife of [that only nephew]” ⇒ wife of Aamir. Conclusion Sonia is Aamir’s wife. Common pitfalls Overcomplicating “only nephew”; the minimalist consistent resolution is that Aamir is the only male child among his maternal uncle’s nieces/nephews.

Question 8

Who is M to P? Decide which statements are necessary.  Facts given: M is the father of N, and N is the son of V.  Which additional statement(s) are needed to determine the relation of M to P? (1) P is the brother of V. (2) The daughter of N is the g…

Accepted Answer

Core deduction N is son of V ⇒ V is a parent of N. M is father of N ⇒ M and V are the two parents of N ⇒ M is the husband of V. Determine M ↔ P If (1) P is brother of V, then P is M’s brother-in-law. Relation is fixed. Why (2) is not needed “Daughter of N is granddaughter of V” is a tautology given N is V’s child; it adds no new information about P. Hence only (1) is necessary.

Question 9

Symbolic-kinship decoding: Find the chain that makes U the father-in-law of P.  Operator meanings: A $ B ⇒ A is the brother of B A @ B ⇒ A is the wife of B A # B ⇒ A is the daughter of B A * B ⇒ A is the father of B  Choose the expression in which U…

Accepted Answer

Decode option (a) P @ Q ⇒ P is wife of Q ⇒ Q is P’s husband. Q $ T ⇒ Q is brother of T ⇒ Q and T are siblings. T # U ⇒ T is daughter of U ⇒ U is a parent of T. U * W ⇒ U is the father of W ⇒ U is confirmed male. Since Q & T are siblings and T is child of U, Q is also child of U. Thus U is father of Q, who is P’s spouse ⇒ U is P’s father-in-law. Why others fail (b)–(d) do not anchor U as the father of P’s spouse.
