Type of blood relation

Examples

In the statement-based subcategory of blood relationship problems, there is frequently a conversation or a discussion taking place between 2 people. You must gather valuable knowledge to give answers based on the discussion. This is an illustration of a picture pointing question.

“Krishna!” Rohit remarked.

“The girl in the photo is the youngest of my father’s wife’s daughter’s two sisters.” So, how is the girl in the photo linked to Rohit?

“His brother’s father is the sole daughter of my grandpa,” the woman stated, pointing to a woman in the photos. So what was the woman in the image to that other woman?

• Mother
• Aunt
• Daughter
• Sister
• Grandma

For example, if it is stated that she is the daughter of the dad of the daughter of my grandpa.  Grandpa’s daughter is now referred to as Aunt.  My grandpa’s daughter’s father is now my aunt’s father, and hence grandpa. As a result, my grandfather’s daughter is either my mother or an aunt.

Another Example

“His only sister is the father of my daughter’s father,” Ashok replied, pointing to a woman in the photo. What is the person’s relationship with Ashok?

• Mother
• Grandma
• Brother–in–law
• aunt

Sol:  Ashok’s father, is the father of Ashok’s daughter.

As a result, either the man’s sister is Ashok’s mother / the man in the photo is Ashok’s father’s sister, i.e., Ashok’s aunt.

Conclusion

A quick summary: We must stop and reflect with utmost clarity and break the question down into finer chunks. A simple way for fixing questions related to picture pointing with 100 per cent accuracy is to construct a family tree in which people of the same generation are placed at the same degree and the entire drawing is in the form of a hierarchy. We must determine whether the picture pointing questions concerns a single-person blood relation or a mixed-blood relationship or a coded one or a picture pointing question.
