How blood relations worksरक्त संबंध को समझिए

Draw generations as rows. Mark males and females clearly, since the answer often depends on gender.

Work from the end of the sentence towards the speaker: “A’s mother’s brother” means start at A, go up to the mother, then across to her brother.

Generation score: +1 up, −1 down, 0 across

Use it when:कब इस्तेमाल करें: Long blood-relation chains (“A is the son of B’s father’s sister’s husband…”).

Walk the chain and keep a running score: parent +1, child −1, sibling or spouse 0.
The final score tells the generation: +1 = parent’s level (father, mother, uncle, aunt), 0 = same level (brother, sister, cousin, spouse), −1 = child’s level (son, niece…), ±2 = grand.
Then use the last person’s gender to name the relation.

Exampleउदाहरण

A is the son of B’s father’s sister. How is A related to B?

→ father +1, sister 0, son −1 → score 0 → same generation, male → cousin (brother-level).

Why it works, and when it failsयह क्यों काम करती है, और कब नहीं

Why:क्यों: Relation names in exams depend on two things only: generation gap and gender (plus paternal/maternal side for uncles and aunts). The score finds the gap without drawing the whole tree.

Limits:सीमाएँ: For in-laws and the paternal/maternal question you still need a quick tree; the score only fixes the generation.

Gender check before you answer

Use it when:कब इस्तेमाल करें: The options include “cannot be determined”, or the asked person is the last letter of the expression.

Find every code in which the asked person stands on the LEFT: each gives their gender.
If there is none, check whether they are married to someone whose gender is known (a husband/wife code, or the other parent of a child).
Still nothing? Every gendered option is out: the answer is “cannot be determined”.

Exampleउदाहरण

P is the son of Q, Q is the sister of R, R is the daughter of S. How is S related to P?

→ S never stands on the left and has no known spouse: grandparent, but grandfather or grandmother cannot be determined.

Why it works, and when it failsयह क्यों काम करती है, और कब नहीं

Why:क्यों: In “A ⊕ B means A is the … of B”, the relation word describes A, so it fixes A’s gender and says nothing about B’s. The only other source of gender is a spouse, because the couple must be one man and one woman.

Limits:सीमाएँ: Neutral answers (for example “cousin”) do not need a gender, and some papers do not offer “cannot be determined”; then pick the option that holds for both genders, if any.
