Directions (67-69): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
J is the wife of K. K is the son of O. N is the aunt of L and K’s sibling. P is the granddaughter of M. Q is married to P. No single parent in the family. Q is the brother-in-law of L. Gender of M is same as P but different as L.
How is Q related to K?
Correct Answer :
Son-in-law
Solution :
To determine how Q is related to K, we can analyze the given information step-by-step to reconstruct the family tree:
1. Analyze the relationship between J, K, and O:
- "J is the wife of K" means J (female) is married to K (male).
- "K is the son of O" means O is the parent of K.
2. Analyze N's relationship:
- "N is the aunt of L and K's sibling." Since N is the sibling of K (both are children of O) and N is the aunt of L, L must be the child of K and J (since N is K's sibling and an aunt). Since "no single parent in the family", K and J are the parents of L.
3. Analyze P and M's relationship:
- "P is the granddaughter of M."
- "Gender of M is same as P but different as L." Let's find the genders and relations.
- "Q is married to P" and "Q is the brother-in-law of L."
- Since Q is the brother-in-law of L, and Q is married to P, P must be L's sister (female), and Q is male. This fits because Q is married to P (P is female, Q is male).
- Since P is a female, the gender of M is also female (same as P). L's gender is male (different from P).
- Since P is the sister of L, and L is the child of K and J, P is also the child of K and J.
- "P is the granddaughter of M." Since K's parent is O, M must be the mother of K (and thus O is the father of K, married to M), making P the granddaughter of M.
4. Determine Q's relationship to K:
- P is the daughter of K and J.
- Q is married to P (P is K's daughter).
- Therefore, Q is the Son-in-law of K.
