Question 6

6. M is the father of N who is the son of V. In order to know the relation of M to P, which of the following statements is/are necessary? (I) P is the brother of V. (II) V is the daughter of K.

A) Only (I)B) Only (II)C) Either (I) or (II)D) Both (I) and (II)

Answer

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation: Solution: 1. M is the father of N. N is the son of V. 2. This implies M (Male) and V (Female) are husband and wife. 3. To find M's relation to P, we need to know how P is related to either M, N, or V. 4. Statement (I) says P is the brother of V. This makes M the brother-in-law of P. 5. Statement (II) relates V to K, which doesn't help relate M to P unless P is defined via K. 6. Thus, only (I) is sufficient.

7. If A \ BmeansAis the brother ofB;A @ BmeansAis the wife ofB;A \# BmeansAis the daughter ofB;A * BmeansAis the father ofB. In the expressionU @ V * W \# X, how isVrelated toX$?
