Category: Miscellaneous Indian Gk

Hint: Identify the gender and familial roles of each individual.

Correct Answer: A) Husband

Exam Relevance: SSC, UPSC, Bank PO, CLAT

Difficulty: Moderate

Explanations:

Family relationship questions are a common type of logical reasoning problem that require careful analysis of the given information to determine the exact relationship between two individuals. In this case, we are given a series of relationships and asked to determine how V is related to D.

Let's break down the information step-by-step:

1. J is the brother of K. This means J and K are siblings.

2. K is the mother of Z. This means Z is the child of K.

3. Z is the sister of R. This means R is also a child of K, and Z and R are siblings.

4. R is married to M. This means M is the spouse of R.

5. P is the father of K. This means P and K are parent and child.

6. P has only one daughter. This confirms that K is the only child of P.

7. P is married to T. This means T is the mother of K.

8. J is the brother of V. This means J and V are siblings.

9. U is the father-in-law of V. This means V is married to someone who is the child of U.

10. If U is the father of D, then D is the child of U.

From the information given, we can deduce the following relationships:

Since U is the father-in-law of V, V must be married to a child of U. Given that D is the child of U, V must be married to D. Therefore, V is the husband of D.

It is important to carefully map out the relationships and consider the gender and familial roles of each individual. Misunderstanding the gender or familial roles can lead to incorrect conclusions. For example, if we mistakenly thought V was the wife of U, we would incorrectly conclude that V is the mother of D, which is not the case.

By systematically analyzing the given information and understanding the roles and genders of each individual, we can accurately determine the relationship between V and D, which is that V is the husband of D.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: This option is correct. V is the wife of U, and D is the child of U. Therefore, V is the mother of D, making V the husband of D's mother, which is the correct relationship.
  • Option B: This option is incorrect. V is the wife of U, and D is the child of U. Therefore, V is the mother of D, not the wife.
  • Option C: This option is incorrect. V is the wife of U, and D is the child of U. Therefore, V is the mother of D, not a cousin.
  • Option D: This option is incorrect. V is the wife of U, and D is the child of U. Therefore, V is the mother of D, not a brother.
