Blood Relations: Solving problems related to family relationships
🚀 Blood relations problems are a common part of logical reasoning tests, including the JNVST. These problems involve understanding and analyzing family relationships to determine how different members of a family are related to each other. In India, family structures can be quite complex, with extended families living together, making this topic both interesting and relevant for students.
Examples💡
Example 1: If Ramesh is the brother of Suresh, and Suresh is the father of Mahesh, how is Ramesh related to Mahesh? Solution: Ramesh is Mahesh's uncle because Ramesh is the brother of Mahesh's father, Suresh.
Example 2: Priya is the daughter of Anil. Anil is the son of Raghav. How is Priya related to Raghav? Solution: Priya is Raghav's granddaughter because Anil is Raghav's son, making Priya his granddaughter.
Example 3: If Kavita is the sister of Raj, and Raj is the son of Meena, what is Kavita's relationship to Meena? Solution: Kavita is Meena's daughter because she is the sister of Meena's son, Raj.
Common Mistakes to Avoid⚠️
- Confusing the terms like 'brother-in-law' and 'cousin'. It's important to understand the exact relationship terms.
- Forgetting to consider gender when determining relationships. Always pay attention to whether the person is male or female.
- Misinterpreting the generational gap, such as confusing 'uncle' with 'cousin'. Remember, an uncle is a sibling of one's parent.
