Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

D, E

Solution :

To find the pair of grandchildren in the family, we can analyze the relationships step-by-step:
1. A is the son of C: This means C is a parent of A. C is in the first generation (grandparent/parent level) relative to A.
2. E is the daughter of A: Since A is the son of C and E is the daughter of A, A is a parent of E, and C is the grandparent of E. Thus, E is one of the grandchildren.
3. D is the daughter of F who is the mother of E: We know E's father is A. Since F is the mother of E, A and F must be married (parents of E). D is also the daughter of F (and thus A). Since D and E are both children of A and F, and A's parent is C, both D and E are the children of A and F, making them the grandchildren of C.
4. Thus, the grandchildren of the family are D and E.

Looking at the options, the pair that represents the grandchildren is D, E.
