Blood relation questions test your ability to understand family connections. Let’s break down the concepts with simple explanations, emojis, and practice questions with detailed solutions!
What are Blood Relations? 👨👩👧👦
- Blood relations are connections among family members, either by birth (like mother, father, son, daughter) or by marriage (like father-in-law, sister-in-law).
Important Symbols & Their Meanings 📝
| Symbol | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| $ | Sister | A $ B: A is sister of B 👧 |
| % | Brother | A % B: A is brother of B 👦 |
| & | Mother | A & B: A is mother of B 👩 |
| @ | Son | A @ B: A is son of B 👦 |
Types of Blood Relation Questions
1. Pointing or Introducing 👉 Someone introduces or points at another person, and you have to find the relation.
Example: Q: Pointing to a lady, Rahul said, “She is the wife of my mother’s father’s only grandchild.” A:
- Rahul’s mother’s father = Rahul’s grandfather
- Grandfather’s only grandchild = Rahul
- The lady is the wife of Rahul Answer: The lady is Rahul’s wife 👩❤️👨1.
2. Family Tree 🌳 Given relationships, you draw a family tree and answer questions about connections.
Example: Rahul is the son of Mohan. Hari is the father of Manu. Rahul is married to Dina. Rahul and Manu are siblings. Kanav is the brother of Dina. Mohan has only one son. Neha is the son of Rahul. Kanav is the father of Akash.
Q: What is the relation between Kanav and Akash? A: Kanav is the father of Akash. Akash’s gender is not given, so Akash could be a son or daughter. Answer: Cannot be determined (son or daughter) 🤷1.
3. Coded Relations 🔢 Relations are shown with symbols or codes.
Example: Symbols:
- $ = Sister
- % = Brother
- & = Mother
- @ = Son
Q: How is F related to D in the expression D % C @ G $ H $ F? A:
- D % C → D is brother of C
- C @ G → C is son of G
- G $ H → G is sister of H
- H $ F → H is sister of F Since F’s gender is unknown, F could be uncle or aunt of D. Answer: Uncle or Aunt 👨🦱👩🦱1.
Tricks & Tips 🧠
- Always consider “ME” as the person introducing in the question.
- Don’t assume gender from names (e.g., Sonu can be male or female).
- “Only son/daughter” doesn’t mean “only child.”
- In coded questions, eliminate options where gender is unknown or incorrect.
Common Relations & Their Cases
| Relation | Possible Cases |
|---|---|
| Uncle/Aunt | Father’s/Mother’s brother/sister |
| Nephew/Niece | Brother’s/Sister’s son/daughter |
| Grandson/Granddaughter | Son’s/Daughter’s son/daughter |
| In-laws | Spouse’s family members |
