Blood Relations: Solving problems related to family relationships
🚀 Blood relations problems are a common part of logical reasoning tests, including the JNVST. These problems require you to understand and interpret family relationships based on given information. The key is to visualize the relationships and use logical thinking to deduce the correct answers. In India, family structures can be quite complex, with extended families living together, so understanding terms like 'uncle', 'aunt', 'cousin', etc., is crucial.
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.
Example 2: If Priya is the daughter of Anil, and Anil is the son of Sunita, what is the relationship between Priya and Sunita? Solution: Sunita is Priya's grandmother.
Example 3: If Kavita is the sister of Raj, and Raj is the son of Meena, how is Kavita related to Meena? Solution: Kavita is Meena's daughter.
Common Mistakes to Avoid⚠️
- Confusing the terms like 'uncle' and 'cousin'. Remember, an uncle is your parent's brother, while a cousin is your uncle's or aunt's child.
- Forgetting to consider gender in relationships. For example, a brother's child is a nephew or niece, depending on the gender.
- Misinterpreting the direction of the relationship. Always read the problem carefully to understand who is being referred to as whose relative.
