IBPS PO Reasoning: Blood Relations and Family Tree questions with solutions

Q1. There are ten members P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y and Z in a family. There are three generations in the family and three married couples. There are equal numbers of males and females. There are two brothers and two sisters. R is the daughter-in-law of V. P is the mother of P. P has only one son. Both S and X have only two children. R is the mother of Q. Y is the son-in-law of V. Q is the sister of W. W is the granddaughter of S. P and Y are married couples. If Y is the only child of his parents, then how is Z related to P?

1. Paternal Grandfather
2. Maternal Grandfather
3. Paternal Uncle
4. Maternal Uncle

Answer: Paternal Uncle

This is a family-tree puzzle with multiple generations and marriages. After arranging the relations consistently, Z is found to be the brother of P’s father, i.e., P’s paternal uncle. Hence, the correct answer is Paternal Uncle.

Q2. J is married to C. B and D are the children of C. D is married to the daughter of K, who is married to M. K is the mother of R, who is the husband of N. H is the grandson of C and K. L is the daughter of N. V is the only sibling of H. D has only one daughter. How is D related to K?

1. Son
2. Wife
3. Son in law
4. Daughter

Answer: Son in law

D is married to the daughter of K. Therefore, D is the son-in-law of K. The other clues help confirm the family structure, but this relation is direct from the statement.
