Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

H

Solution :

The correct answer is H.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the family relations step-by-step:
- K and D: K is the father-in-law of H, and D is the mother-in-law of H. This means K (male) and D (female) are married to each other and represent the first generation.
- P and H: H is married to P. Since K and D are the parents-in-law of H, P is the son of K and D. Thus, P (male) and H (female) form the second married couple.
- N: P is the only brother of N. Therefore, N (female) is also a direct child of K and D.
- G and B: G is the daughter of N (third generation), and B is a male blood relative in the family tree.

2. Identify the group relationship:
Let's evaluate the options provided: P, H, N, K, B.
- K is a direct blood member/ancestor of the family.
- P is a direct blood relative (son of K and D).
- N is a direct blood relative (daughter of K and D).
- B is a direct blood relative of the family.
- H is married into the family (daughter-in-law of K and D, spouse of P).

Conclusion:
P, N, K, and B are all direct blood relatives of the family, whereas H is related to the family by marriage. Thus, H does not belong to the group.
