Mixed Blood Relation Questions

Mixed questions combine gender clues with relationship clues in the same puzzle. A statement like "Pointing to a woman, Ravi says, 'She is the daughter of the only son of my grandfather'" requires you to unpack both the gender of each person AND their position in the family tree. These are harder because one wrong gender assumption breaks the whole answer chain.

1. Identify every person mentioned: list their name and any gender clue given (he/she, son/daughter/wife/husband).
2. Start from a known anchor — the person making the statement ("I") — and build outward.
3. Unpack "only son of my grandfather" step by step: grandfather → only son = my father → daughter of that son = my sister.
4. Check gender at each step; if the statement says "she," the final person must be female.
5. State the relationship in the simplest term.

Example 1: Meena says, "He is the son of the only daughter of my grandmother." Who is "he" to Meena?

• My grandmother's only daughter = my mother (Meena's mother).
• Son of my mother = my brother.
• Answer: He is Meena's brother.

Example 2: Pointing to a man in a photo, Aryan says, "His mother is the wife of my father's only brother." How is the man related to Aryan?

• Father's only brother = Aryan's uncle.
• Uncle's wife = Aryan's aunt.
• Aunt's son = Aryan's cousin.
• Answer: The man is Aryan's cousin.

• "Only son" and "only daughter" restrict the family — do not add extra siblings that are not stated.
• The gender of the person in the photo or "he/she" at the start must match the final position in the tree.
• "Father's brother" is a paternal uncle; "mother's brother" is a maternal uncle — the question may test whether you track this correctly.

1. Seema says about a boy, "He is the son of my father's sister." How is the boy related to Seema?
2. Pointing to a woman, Kiran says, "She is the wife of the grandson of my parents." How is the woman related to Kiran?
