Directions (22-24): Each of the questions below, consist of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read the three statements and Give answer
In a family of nine members. How N is related to J?
Statement I: P is spouse of J who has only two children. K is grandchild of P. V is the sister-in-law of B.
Statement II: B is the only son of J. L has no siblings. K is nephew of R and brother-in-law of V
Statement III: L is sister-in-law of R. R is the only sibling of B. C is brother-in-law of B. N is niece of R.
Correct Answer :
If the data in statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I are not required to answer the question.
Solution :
The correct option is: If the data in statement II and III are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I are not required to answer the question.
To determine how N is related to J, let us analyze the statements step-by-step:
Step 1: Analyze Statement II
- B is the only son of J.
- L has no siblings.
- K is the nephew of R and brother-in-law of V.
Step 2: Analyze Statement III
- L is the sister-in-law of R.
- R is the only sibling of B.
- C is the brother-in-law of B.
- N is the niece of R.
Step 3: Combine Statement II and Statement III
- From Statement II, B is the only son of J. From Statement III, R is the only sibling of B. This means J has exactly two children: B (who is male) and R (who must be female, since B is the only son).
- From Statement II, L has no siblings. From Statement III, L is the sister-in-law of R. Since L has no siblings, she cannot be the sister of R's spouse. Thus, she must be married to R's sibling, who is B. So, B (male) and L (female) are married.
- From Statement III, N is the niece of R. Since R's only sibling is B, N must be the daughter of B and L.
- Since B is the son of J, and N is the daughter of B, N is the granddaughter of J.
Therefore, we can determine the relationship (N is the granddaughter of J) using only Statements II and III together, while Statement I is not required.
