Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follows.
A family consists of seven members across three generations, including two married couples. K is the father-in-law of H, who is married to P. P is the only brother of N. G is the daughter of N and has no siblings. B is the maternal uncle of G. D is the mother-in-law of H. N is unmarried.
Correct Answer :
H
Solution :
The correct option is H.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
To determine which member does not belong to the group, let us analyze the relationships and construct the family tree across the three generations based on the given clues:
1. Generation 1 (Parents/In-laws):
- 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 top generation.
2. Generation 2 (Children & Spouses):
- H is married to P, which means P is the child of K and D.
- Since P is the brother of N, P is male and H is female. Thus, (P, H) form the second married couple.
- N is unmarried and is the sister of P (a child of K and D).
- B is also a member of this generation (maternal uncle of G).
3. Generation 3 (Grandchildren):
- G (female) is the daughter of N and has no siblings.
Finding the Odd One Out:
Let us evaluate the relationship of each person in the given options (P, H, N, K, B) to the family:
- K is a direct blood relative (the father/head 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 a relative by marriage (daughter-in-law), who married into the family.
Since P, N, K, and B are all direct blood relatives of the family, while H is an in-law (related by marriage), H does not belong to the group.
