General Intelligence Blood Relation Blood Relation Logical Resoning Question #6616 (CAT-I)

A is the son of B. C is the daughter of A. D is the mother of C. E is the brother of D. How is B related to E?

A Brother-in-law
B Father-in-law
C Mother-in-law
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer & Explanation
Option D
Let's trace the relationships: • A is the son of B. (B is A's parent) • C is the daughter of A. (A is C's father) • D is the mother of C. (Since A is C's father, D must be A's wife) • E is the brother of D. Now, we need to find the relation between B and E. • E is D's brother. • D is A's wife. • A is B's son. So, B is A's parent. E is A's wife's brother. We don't know the gender of B. If B is male, B is E's father-in-law. If B is female, B is E's mother-in-law. Since B's gender is not specified, the relationship cannot be determined definitively.
