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?

To find the dissimilar member among the given options, let us analyze the relationships and determine the gender of each family member step-by-step:

1. Identify the parents and siblings:
- M is the sister of N's father-in-law.
- L is the mother of M.
- F is the only son of L and R. Since M is female and F is the only son of L and R, F must be the brother of M. Therefore, F is the father-in-law of N.
- Since F and M are siblings, their parents are L (mother) and R (father).

2. Identify V, P, N, and C:
- P is the mother of V, and V is the spouse of N. This means V's father is F (who is N's father-in-law), and F is married to P.
- Since V and N are spouses, and F is N's father-in-law, V is the child of F and P.
- C is the sister-in-law of N and vice versa. This means C is the sister of V (making her N's sister-in-law). For the relation to be "vice versa" (N is also the sister-in-law of C), N must be female.
- Since N is female and is married to V, V must be male.

3. Determine the genders of the options:
- L: Female (Mother of M and F)
- V: Male (Husband of N)
- M: Female (Sister of F)
- C: Female (Sister of V)
- N: Female (Wife of V)

All members except V are female, while V is male. Therefore, V is the dissimilar one.
