Directions (71-73): Read the given information carefully and answer the questions based on it:
In a family of eight members, P is mother of V who is the spouse of N. M is the sister of N’s father-in-law. L is mother of M. F is only son of L and R. C is sister in-law of N and vice versa.
What is the relation of V with respect to L?
Correct Answer :
Grandson
Solution :
To determine the relationship of V with respect to L, let's break down the family structure step-by-step based on the given information:
1. Analyze the relationship between L, M, and F:
- "L is mother of M."
- "F is only son of L and R." Since L is the mother, R must be the father, making L and R a married couple (L is female, R is male).
- Since F is the son of L, and M is the daughter of L (as L is her mother), F and M are siblings.
- Since F is the "only son" of L and R, any other children they have must be female. Thus, M is female.
2. Determine who is N's father-in-law:
- "M is the sister of N’s father-in-law."
- From step 1, M's only brother is F. Therefore, N's father-in-law must be F (who is male).
3. Trace V's position in the family:
- "P is mother of V who is the spouse of N." This means V is married to N.
- Since N's father-in-law is F, the father of N's spouse (V) must be F.
- P is the mother of V. Since F is V's father, F and P are married to each other (F is male, P is female).
- V is the child of F and P.
4. Determine the gender of V:
- Let's check the siblings of V: "C is sister-in-law of N and vice versa." Since V is married to N, C is V's sister (daughter of F and P), making C the sister-in-law of N.
- We know from step 1 that F is the only son of L and R. But V is the child of F. What about V's gender?
- The options provided are: Grandson, Granddaughter, Son-in-law, and Niece.
- V is the child of F. F is the son of L. Therefore, V is a grandchild (either grandson or granddaughter) of L.
- Since the correct option provided is "Grandson", V is male.
Thus, V is the grandson of L.
Therefore, the correct relation of V with respect to L is Grandson.
