Common Explanation (1-3):
Reference:
R is the spouse of U, who is the mother of a single child.
Inference:
Following relation tree can be prepared with the given hints. We will remember the hint that U has only one
child.
Reference:
R is the brother-in-law of X and both are in different teams.
P is the cousin of T.
Inference:
As per second hint we can say that P and T belong to same generation.
As per last hint it is clear that R is the brother-in-law of T, thus T must be the husband of Q and son of Y.

Team A Team B
X R
Reference:
W and her grandfather S are in different team.
Inference:
As U don’t have any other child thus W must be the daughter (due to use of her) of Q and X. S could either be
paternal grandfather or maternal grandfather of W.
Reference:
V is married to S, who is the father of two children.
Inference:
Therefore V must be the wife of S, because X is the single child of his parents, thus will not fulfill the given hint.
With the second hint, it is clear that Y is female and belongs to Team A.
Team A Team B
Persons Gender Persons Gender
X Male R Male
Y Female Q Female
W Female
P Male
Reference:
Each team has at least two females.
Inference:
Thus the only left female i.e. S must be in Team B in order to fulfill the first condition.
Team A Team B
Persons Gender Persons Gender
X Male R Male
Y Female Q Female
W Female S Male
P Male T Male
U Female V Female
P is the sibling of U.
Inference:
As P and U are siblings thus D must be the parent of P and U both.
With the first hint, it is clear that R is a male, thus D must be his wife and a female.
We will make a mental note of the hint that R is the only uncle of T.
Reference:
H is married to T, who is the mother of X.
Inference:
As per second hint M is male and as per first hint, T is female and H is male.
As we know that R is the only uncle of T, thus T belongs to the generation to which P and U belong.
Inference:
As per first hint, R should be brother of B in order to be uncle of B's daughter T.
As each child has both the parents alive, thus C must be the wife of B.
6. U is the niece of B.
9. Decoded representation:
G is the daughter of K. K is the son of M. M is the father of X. X is the mother of S. S is the daughter of
R.
Except, "K is the paternal uncle of S." all other conclusions can be derived.
As we don't know whether F is the father or mother of V, thus we can't determine whether M is the
Maternal aunt or Paternal aunt of V.

11. Decoded Representation:
K is the daughter of D. C is the sister of D. C is the mother of G. V is the brother of G. V is the son of L.
L is the husband of C.
A is not a female and spent an amount just higher than D’s husband.
Inference:
With the third and fourth hints, it is clear that C is the father of D and D is a married female.
Thus it is possible that C is the husband of G and father of B, in such a case, C will have two children of
different genders.
_>C>G>_>_>_>_
4500
Reference:
E’s mother-in-law was the third highest spender.
The spendings of E were just lower than A’s uncle, who spent the fourth highest amount.
A is not a female and spent an amount just lower than D’s husband.
F>C>G>B>E>A>_
4500
Thus the only left person i.e. D spent the least amount.
F>C>G>B>E>A>D
4500
12. The second highest spender (C) is the maternal grandfather of the second lowest spender (A).
14. If G's son spent Rs. 2450 then the possible amount spent by G is Rs. 3250.
Inference:
As P is the only son of X and V, thus U must be the sister of P.
Reference:
T and W are the male members of the family.
Inference:
With the first and second hints we can say that W is the son of U.
Inference:
The third hint is to be remembered throughout the puzzle.
As per first and second hints, Chanku must be the mother of Banku and Danku and Panku is the husband of
Banku.
Reference:
Panku had no siblings and his wife had only one sibling.
Fanku is the mother of Tanku but Tanku is not the son of Fanku.
Inference:
Panku’s wife is Banku, who has only one sibling who is Danku, thus Fanku must be the wife of Danku.
Reference:
Ganku is the grandson of Manku but not the son of Danku.

Inference:
As per first hint, Ganku must be the son of Banku.
21. The number of male members cannot be determined as we don't know the gender of Anku.
Inference:
We must remember the first two hints throughout the puzzle.
We cannot determine the gender of X and P, but one thing is sure that R must be married to someone because
none of the female members is unmarried.
Reference:
E is the brother-in-law of B but not the brother of C.
Inference:
As per second and third hints we can say that C is the wife of B and P is the wife of X.
We will make a mental note of the hint that C does not have any daughter.
Reference:
D is the only sibling of X.
H is the cousin of D.
Inference:
As no female member is unmarried and we don’t have any information about H’s spouse, thus we can
conclude that H is a male.
As C is the mother of X and does not have any daughter thus D must be the brother of X.
23. C is the odd one out as rest are male members of the family.
Inference:
P is the brother of Q. Q is the mother of R. S is the wife of R. U is the daughter of S. S is the mother of T.

A%X#B , T&A , B|D@M, Q|A
Inference:
X is the son of A. X is the brother of B. A is the grandparent of T. B is the wife of D. D is the father of M.
As A is the grandparent of T and Q is the grandmother of T, thus A must be the grandfather of T and husband
of Q.
Thus following family tree image can be drawn with the given inferences.
26. If U is the only granddaughter of Q then M and T both must be the grandsons of Q. So, the male
members in the family are 7.
30. Y^F+U@E~W#O
Y is the daughter of F. F is the brother of U. U is the mother of E. E is the son of W. W is the father of O.

31. A+P@X&C#Y^S
A is the brother of P. P is the mother of X. X is the sister of C. C is the father of Y. Y is the daughter of S.
Following family tree can be created with the help pf given hints.
Inference:
As per first hint, Saba is the wife of Guru.
Reference:
Fibu is the father of Hira.
Inference:
As Fibu is the father of Hira, so Tuli will be her mother.
Dipu must be the son of Guru and Saba in order to be grandson of Tuli.
34. Maya is the odd one out because rest persons are married members of the family.
Inference:
Using the given hint we can say that Pinku is the cousin of Monu and Gonu where both Monu and Gonu are
females. Sonu and Ashu are brothers where both Sonu and Ashu are males but the relation of Sonu and Ashu
to the above three is still unknown.
Reference:
Depu is the only daughter of Monu’s only aunt and the sister of Ashu; Pinku is the only son of Gonu’s only
uncle.
Inference:
Using this hint we can find out the relation between all of these six persons.
35. Following the final solution we can say that there are 3 males amongst these six persons
36. Following the final solution we can say that Sonu is the cousin of Pinku
37. Following the final solution we can say that Depu is the sister of Ashu.
Since a female joins the community of her husband, the boy’s mother would be from the Baloch
community.
The father of this mother (i.e. maternal grandfather) would also be from the Hazara community.
The boy’s paternal grandfather would be from the Hazara community. Hence, the boy’s paternal
grandmother would have been born in the Baloch community and become a member of the Hazara
community after marriage. Hence, the boy can never have a paternal grandmother born in the Hazara
community.
Hence, option B is not possible. And with this other options also get eliminated.
We can start with option C as the community of the person is clearly mentioned.
Option C: A boy from the Hazara community can marry his brother’s divorced wife.
Since the boy is from the Hazara community, his brother is also from the same community.
Since marriages within the same community are not allowed, the boy’s brother’s wife would originally
be from the Baloch community.
After divorce, she would go back to the Baloch community. Since she is right now in the Baloch
community and is divorced, the boy from the Hazara community can marry her. Hence, the situation in
option C is possible.
Let the male be from the Baloch community. Hence, his wife as well as wife’s divorced sister would
both be originally from the Hazara community.
Since this sister is currently divorced, she would have gone back to being part of the Hazara
community. Also, she would be eligible to marry.
Since the boy is also divorced, he is also eligible to marry. Since the two people are from different
communities and are eligible to marry, this situation is possible.
After marriage, she would have gone to the Baloch community and now, after divorce, she would have
come back to her original community i.e. Hazara.
Her former husband and his mother would be part of the Baloch community. This mother would have
become part of the Baloch community after marriage. Hence, she would also have been originally from
the Hazara community. Hence, this mother’s brother would also be from the Hazara community. Since
marriages within a community are not allowed, this case is not possible.
Now, we have already got the answer, we need not check option D.
40. Option A: If a girl is born in the Baloch community, her father is also from the Baloch community.
Hence, her mother joined this community after marriage and was originally born in the Hazara
community. Hence, option A is not possible. Option D also gets eliminated here.
Option B: A girl born in the Baloch community can have a brother (who will also be in the same
community). When this brother marries, his wife will become part of the Baloch community. This wife
will be the sister-in-law of the original girl. Hence, option B is possible.
41. In either of the family trees given below, we can observe that Nanu is granddaughter of Aaru.
Or
42. It's evident from the two possible family trees below that Hanu is either the brother of brother-in-law
of Baru.
Or
43. From the final family trees given below, it's clear that if Monu is the father of Enu, the wife of Enu's
father must be Enu's mother and when Baru is Enu's wife, she must be the daughter-in-law of Enu's
mother.
Or
Common Explanation (44-48):
Reference:
Corey's brother-in-law has 2 daughters.
Inference:
Studying the first reference we can understand that Corey has a sister and Corey’s sister and her husband has
two Daughters.
Studying the third and fourth reference we can make sure that Ryan is Emerson’s daughter and she has only
one sibling. And we know that each child has both parents alive. So, Emerson’s partner must be alive.
Reference:
Riley's father-in-law has 2 granddaughters.
Inference:
Studying the given information carefully we can say that Riley is the husband of Ryan. But still at this point we
cannot say anything about Emerson’s gender. It could be either male or female.
Reference:
Taylor's brother has only one nephew and Taylor is not Ryan's mother.
Inference:
Studying the given information we can say that Taylor has one son and one daughter that means he or she is
the partner of Emerson and have Bret as a brother but it is given that Taylor is not the mother of Ryan that
means he is the father of Ryan and Corey in the given conditions and that makes Emerson the mother of Ryan
and Corey which makes her the fourth female member of the family. Now, at this point we can say that Corey
is the male member and Avery and Drew are the daughters of Riley and Ryan.
And the the family tree is completed.
44. Following the final solution to the puzzle we can say that both Drew and Avery are the daughters of
Ryan.
45. Following the final solution to the puzzle we can say that there are two couples in the family.
46. Following the final solution to the puzzle we can say that Avery, Emerson, Drew and Ryan are the four
female members of the family.
47. Following the final solution to the puzzle we can say that Ryan is the one that does bnot delongs to the
group because Ryan is the female and all the other persons are male.
48. Following the final solution to the puzzle we can say that Avery belongs to the youngest generation of
the family.
49. Studying the diagram we can say that there are either 3 or 4 females in the family.
Inference:
By combining both the hints, we can say that E is the mother-in-law of C.
Here we will make a mental note of the hint that C is not a sibling of B.
Reference:
A is the father of B, who is the sister of F.
As per third hint, E has only one daughter, but E is the mother-in-law of both H and C, thus E must have two
off-springs ; one male and one female.

Common Explanation (55-57):
Reference:
In a family of 8 persons, Rama is the sister of Ramu.
Rima is the daughter of Ramu, who is married to Riya.
Rishi is the brother-in-law of Ramu, who is not the father of Rima.
Rahul is the father of Riya, who has no sibling.
Inference:
As Ramu is not father of Rima, so she must be mother of Rima.
As Riya has no sibling, thus Rishi must be husband of Ramu's sister Rama.
Reference:
Rahu is the father-in-law of Riya.
Romi is grandmother of Rima but Riya is not her son.
Inference:
Romi must be mother of Ramu then in order to be grandmother of Rima.
Inference:
Note- It is also possible that B has some other child and G is the daughter of that one.
Reference:
D is the brother of E, who is the father of A.
J is the mother of G, who has one brother.
F is the daughter-in-law of B, but not married to E.
Inference:
We know that F is not married to E, thus D must be the one to which E is married.
As J is the mother of G, thus E and J are married and as per second hint, A is the brother of G.
60. Though we don’t know the gender of I and B, but we know that they are married couple, thus either of
the two would be male, so we can say that there are 4 male members in the family.
Hayden’s mother Taylor likes Jaime, the daughter of Jessie and Dylan.
Inferences:
Studying the given information we can say that Jaime is the daughter-in-law of Taylor who is a female, Dylan
and Jessie are the parents of Jaime.
References:
Jayden’s father-in-law is Dylan and Morgan’s daughter-in-law’s brother is Riley.
Members in each pair of siblings are of different genders.
Inferences:
In the given conditions we can fix Jayden as Jaime’s husband and now the only possibility left in this scenario
for Morgan to be the Father in law of Riley’s sister is when Morgan is the husband of Taylor. So, we fix his
position there.
Now, the blood relation tree is completed.
67. Following the final solution we can say that Morgan is the husband of Taylor.
68. Following the final solution we can say that Riley and Jaime the son and daughter of Dylan.
69. Following the final solution we can say that Hayden is the Morgan’s daughter.
70. Following the final solution we can say that Morgan is the one that does not belong to the group
because Morgan is a male whereas all the other are females.
71. Following the final solution we can say that none of the given combinations are correct.
Reference:
Eight persons – Sarin, Rahi, Akasa, Pavi, Preet, Gunjan, Taran and Namya belongs to a family which consists of
three generations and two married couples.
Inference:
We will keep this information mind while solving the puzzle.
Reference:
Preet is the sister of only son of Akasa.
Inference:
After using the above hints, we can draw a following blood chart:
Reference:
Sarin is the grandfather of Taran who is the daughter of Pavi.
Inference:
After using the given hints, above blood chart can be redrawn as:
Reference:
Namya is the maternal uncle of Gunjan.

With the help of above hints we can say that Namya is the brother of Pavi and Gunjan is the son of Pavi.
72. Following the final solution we can say that there are four male members in the family.
73. Following the final solution we can say that Namya is the uncle of Taran.
75. Following the final solution we can say that Akasa’s son is grandson of Taran’s grandfather.
Clearly, gender of P cannot be determined, thus we can't say whether P is the brother or sister of
T. Therefore this conclusion cannot be drawn from the given expression.
Clearly, Q is the daughter-in-law of H and P is the sister-in-law of N. Therefore these two conclusions
can be drawn from the
given expression.

F is the son of E. E is the husband of R. S is the brother of R. A is the sister of S.
S is uncle of F.
Inferences:
We will keep these two hints in mind throughout the puzzle.
References:
Himani is the mother of Fiza, who is married to Jiya.
As the number of female and male members in a family is equal, thus Tani must be male.
References:
Disha is the sister-in-law of Himani.
Inferences:
Disha is the sister-in-law of Himani, who is the oldest member of Gupta family. Thus, Himani is the sister of
Disha’s husband.
References:
Yamini is the only daughter of Gippi, who belongs to Garg family.
Kanchi is the sibling of Yamini.
Avi is the father-in-law of Sakshi.
Inferences:
As Yamini is the daughter of Gippi and Disha has no daughter, thus Gippi is definitely not her husband.
So, Gippi could either be son or daughter-in-law of Disha.
As per third hint, Avi is the father-in-law of Sakshi, thus it gets clear that Gippi is the son of Disha and Avi and
Sakshi is the wife of Gippi.
Avi is the husband of Disha and brother of Himani.
As per first and second hint, Yamini is the only daughter of Gippi, so Kanchi must be her brother.
79. Only Kanchi belongs to third generation, rest of the persons are from second generation.
Inferences:
From above statements,
C1 has two grandsons and D2 is married to C1. Therefore both C1 and D2 are belongs to 1st generation.
P3 is the only son of C1 and D2-C1 couple has two son-in-laws. Therefore D2-C1 couple has 3 children i.e. 1 son
(P3) and 2 daughters.
By using above information we get the following family tree,
Note: From family tree, we have 3 couples as per given statement. Thus P3 must be unmarried. Total 7
members are there as per above tree.
References:
P3 is the brother-in-law of T6, who is not married to S5, but S5 is sister of P3.
Both V8 and W9 are male members in the family but neither of them is married to S5.
U7 is neither the father of W9 nor married to T6.
V8 is not son of R4.

Inferences:
From above statements,
Given, P3 (unmarried) is the brother-in-law of T6. T6 is not married to S5. S5 is the sister of P3. With this
condition and above family tree, we can conclude that S5 is one of the daughters of D2-C1 couple and T6 is
one of the son-in-laws of D2-C1 couple. And also, S5 is not the wife of T6.
Given, both V8 and W9 are male members. S5 is not married to either V8 or W9. Therefore we conclude that
both V8 and W9 belongs to 3rd generation with respect to other remaining statements.
Among these members V8, W9 (both V8 and W9 are from 3rd generation) and T6 (2nd generation) are male
members. S5 is the female member. Therefore R4, U7 are from 2nd generation.
Now, given, U7 is not the father of W9 and U7 is not married to T6. V8 is not son of R4.
We know, T6 (male) not married to S5 (female). Similarly T6 (male) is not married to U7. Therefore T6 (male)
must married to R4 i.e. R4 is the female member and R4 is wife of T6 [only possibility]
Finally, V8 is the son of U7-S5 couple since he is not the son of R4.
Similarly, W9 is the son of R4-T6 couple since U7 is not the father of W9.
Finally gender C1 and D2 cannot be determined. By using above information we get the completed family tree
as follows,

83. Following the common explanation, we get "Either A or C".
P3’s sisters are S5 and R4
V8 and W9 are the sons of P3’s sisters.
85. C%F!E/S+T%U!X%Y
Decoded representation: C is the son of F. F is the sibling of E. S is the daughter of E. S is the parent of
T. T is the son of U. U is the sibling of X. X is the son of Y.
Still, age of S cannot be determined because S is the sister-in-law of X and can be elder or younger than
him.
87. Riya ! Seema % Anu @ Eena & Jay + Kiya ! Madhu / Eena
Decoded representation: Riya is the sibling of Seema. Seema is the son of Anu. Eena is the daughter-in-
law of Anu. Eena is the spouse of Jay. Jay is the parent of Kiya. Kiya is the sibling of Madhu. Madhu is
the daughter of Eena.
If Anu has only one daughter, then Riya must be Anu’s daughter. Thus Riya is the paternal aunt of Kiya.
Inferences:
Following family tree can be obtained with the given hints.
References:
There are two married couples and two persons are unmarried.
Each child has both his parents alive.
where number of male and female members is equal.
Nishant, who works as Engineer, is mother-in-law of Nisha, who is wife of Nitibha.
Inferences:
As each child has both parents alive, thus it is possible that Nishant is the wife of Nitish.
In this way we’ll get two married couples as – Nishant-Nitish and Nisha-NItibha.
And also two unmarried persons as – Nihit and Naira.
Thus we can say that Nishant is the mother of Nitibha, Nihit and Naira.
Now, we get equal number of male and female members.
References:
Nitibha does not work as Architect.
Each one of them belongs to different professions, viz. Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, Teacher, Writer and
Architect.
Inferences:
Thus Nitibha must be Doctor and Nisha is an Architect.
So, Nitish will be Teacher.
If Mrs. Khanna is Vineet’s aunt, this means that Mrs. Khanna must be the sister of either Mr. or Mrs.
Iyer.
The common grandfather of Vineet and Kavita must be the father of those of their parents who are
siblings.
Thus, in case I, the common grandfather is the father of Mr. Iyer and Mrs. Khanna.
In both cases, he is the father of Mrs. Khanna, i.e. the father-in-law of Mr. Khanna.
95. C can be directly ignored as C is not from the family and not mentioned in any of the clues.
B is the mother-in-law of F and F is the daughter-in-law of D. Hence, B-D have to form a wife-husband
pair and they should have a son.
Since D is male, options A and C can be eliminated.
A is the sister of E and the daughter of F. Hence, F is the mother of both A and E.
Also, E is the only son of G. Since F is female, G is the husband of F.
Hence, G is the son of B-D (or D is the father of G).

97. On the basis of given hints, we can draw the following family tree.
F is the father of A.
99. Father of Shreya’s son — Shreya’s husband. So, Kalyan is the son of sister of Shreya’s husband. Thus,
Kalyan is Shreya’s nephew.
