Let us step-by-step analyze the information given in the question to determine the relationships, generations, and professions of the six family members:


1. Generations and Family Structure:

• Statements (v) and (vi) tell us that Mohan is the grandfather of Raman, and Sarita is the granddaughter of Vanita.
• This establishes a 3-generation family structure:
- 1st Generation (Grandparents): Mohan (Grandfather) and Vanita (Grandmother, mother-in-law of Namita). Thus, Mohan and Vanita form the first couple.
- 2nd Generation (Parents): Charan (CA) and Namita. Vanita is mother-in-law of Namita, which means Charan is Mohan and Vanita's son, and Namita is married to Charan. Thus, Charan and Namita form the second couple.
- 3rd Generation (Children): Raman (Principal) and Sarita (Granddaughter).


2. Details of Professions and Colours:

Mohan: Grandfather, Engineer (likes red colour). His wife is a Teacher (Vanita).
Vanita: Grandmother, Teacher, likes orange colour.
Charan: CA, married to Namita (Doctor/Teacher/other profession).
Namita: Mother of Sarita, likes white colour.
Raman: Principal, likes black colour.
Sarita: Granddaughter, likes blue colour.
