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.

Four of the following five are similar in a certain pattern and related to a group, who among the following is dissimilar to others?

The correct option is V.

To determine who is dissimilar from the others, let us analyze the relationships and genders of the family members step-by-step:
1. Generation 1 (Grandparents):
L is the mother of M. F is the only son of L and R. This means L (female) and R (male) are married, and their children are M and F. Since F is their only son, M must be their daughter (female).
2. Generation 2 (Parents):
M is the sister of N’s father-in-law. Since F is the only son of L and R, F must be N's father-in-law.
P is the mother of V, and V is the spouse of N. This means V's father is N's father-in-law (F). Therefore, F and P are married, with F being the father and P being the mother of V.
3. Generation 3 (Children):
C is the sister-in-law of N (and vice-versa). Since V is married to N, C must be V's sister (female), which makes her N's sister-in-law.
Since V is the spouse of N (female) and has a sister C, V must be male (husband of N).
4. Summary of Genders for the Options:
L is female.
M is female.
C is female.
V is male.
Since L, M, and C are all females, V is the only male and is therefore dissimilar to the others.
