Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
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.
Who among the following is child of F?
Correct Answer :
C
Solution :
To find the child of F, let us carefully analyze the family relationships step-by-step:
1. V and N: V is the spouse of N. P is the mother of V.
This means V is P's child. N is married to V. Therefore, N's father-in-law or mother-in-law is P's spouse or P herself. Since we are told "M is the sister of N’s father-in-law", N's father-in-law must be a male who is married to P. Let N's father-in-law (who is V's father and P's husband) be X.
2. M, L, F, and R:
- M is the sister of N's father-in-law (X). Thus, X and M are siblings.
- L is the mother of M. Since X and M are siblings, L is also the mother of X.
- F is the only son of L and R. Since L is the mother of M and X, and F is also the child of L (with R), F, X, and M are siblings.
- Since F is the only son of L and R, and X is a male (being N's father-in-law, a father), X and F must actually be the same person! That is, F is N's father-in-law (V's father). Let's verify: F is the only son of L and R, so F (male) and M (female) are siblings, which matches perfectly.
3. Children of F:
- F (who is V's father) is married to P (V's mother). Thus, V is a child of F.
- We are also given: "C is sister in-law of N and vice versa."
- N is married to V. The sister-in-law of N would be V's sister. Since C is the sister-in-law of N, C is V's sister.
- Because V and C are sisters (siblings), and V is the child of F and P, C must also be the child of F and P.
Therefore, the child of F among the given options is C.
The correct option is C.
