$D$ is also $A's$ cousin,implying $D$ is a child of one of $A's$ father's siblings.
Since $C$ and $D$ are both cousins of $A$ and share the same set of parents (or are siblings within the same family branch),$D$ must be the brother or sister of $C$.

$A$ is the brother of $B$. $B$ is the brother of $C$. $D$ is the father of $A$. Based on these three statements,which of the following statements cannot be definitely true?
A
$B$ is the brother of $A$.
B
$B$ is the son of $D$.
C
$A$ is the brother of $C$.
D
$C$ is the brother of $A$.

Solution

(D) From the given statements:
$1$. $A$ is the brother of $B$,so $A$ is male.
$2$. $B$ is the brother of $C$,so $B$ is male.
$3$. $D$ is the father of $A$. Since $A, B,$ and $C$ are siblings,$D$ is also the father of $B$ and $C$.
$4$. We know $A$ and $B$ are male,but the gender of $C$ is not specified. $C$ could be either a brother or a sister of $A$ and $B$.
$5$. Therefore,the statement '$C$ is the brother of $A$' cannot be definitely true because $C$ might be a sister.

(C) $1$. Given that $A$ is the father of $X$ and $Y$ is the sister of $X$ and $Z$. This implies $X, Y,$ and $Z$ are siblings.
$2$. Since $Y$ is the sister of $X$ and $Z$,$Y$ is female.
$3$. $B$ is the mother of $Y$,which means $B$ is also the mother of $X$ and $Z$.
$4$. Option $C$ states '$Y$ is the son of $A$'. Since $Y$ is the sister of $X$ and $Z$,$Y$ must be female (a daughter). Therefore,the statement '$Y$ is the son of $A$' is definitely not true.

$P$ is the brother of $Q$ and $R$. $S$ is $R$'s mother. $T$ is $P$'s father. Which of the following statements cannot be definitely true?
A
$T$ is $Q$'s father.
B
$S$ is $P$'s mother.
C
$P$ is $S$'s son.
D
$Q$ is $T$'s son.

Solution

(D) Given that $P$ is the brother of $Q$ and $R$,they are siblings.
$S$ is the mother of $R$,which implies $S$ is the mother of $P$,$Q$,and $R$.
$T$ is the father of $P$,which implies $T$ is the father of $P$,$Q$,and $R$.
Since $P, Q,$ and $R$ are siblings,$T$ is the father of $Q$ and $S$ is the mother of $P$. Thus,options $A, B,$ and $C$ are definitely true.
However,the gender of $Q$ is not specified in the problem statement. Therefore,we cannot determine if $Q$ is a son or a daughter of $T$. Hence,the statement '$Q$ is $T$'s son' cannot be definitely true.

A
$K$ is the son of $Z$.
B
$Y$ is the wife of $Z$.
C
$K$ is the son of $Y$.
D
$N$ is the brother of $X$.

Solution

(D) $1$. Given that $K$ is the brother of $N$ and $X$,all three $(K, N, X)$ are siblings.
$2$. $Y$ is the mother of $N$,and $Z$ is the father of $K$. Since $K, N,$ and $X$ are siblings,$Y$ and $Z$ are the parents of all three children.
$3$. We know $K$ is male (brother),so $K$ is the son of $Z$ and $Y$ (Statements $A$ and $C$ are true).
$4$. $Y$ and $Z$ are parents of the same children,so $Y$ is the wife of $Z$ (Statement $B$ is true).
$5$. We are not given the gender of $N$. Therefore,we cannot determine if $N$ is a brother or a sister of $X$. Thus,statement $D$ is not definitely true.

Let $M$ be the mother of the boy $B$. The boy's maternal uncle is the brother of $M$.
The statement says: "My maternal uncle and his (the boy's) maternal uncle's maternal uncle are brothers."
This implies that the woman $W$ and the mother $M$ share the same maternal lineage such that $W$ is the mother of $B$.
Therefore,the boy is the son of the woman.

$(i)$ In a family of six persons $A, B, C, D, E$ and $F$,there are two married couples.
$(ii)$ $D$ is the grandmother of $A$ and mother of $B$.
$(iii)$ $C$ is the wife of $B$ and mother of $F$.
$(iv)$ $F$ is the granddaughter of $E$.
What is $C$ to $A$?
A
Daughter
B
Grandmother
C
Mother
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(C) $1$. From $(ii)$,$D$ is the mother of $B$. Since $D$ is the grandmother of $A$,$B$ must be the parent of $A$.
$2$. From $(iii)$,$C$ is the wife of $B$. Since $B$ is the parent of $A$ and $C$ is the wife of $B$,$C$ is the mother of $A$.
$3$. From $(iv)$,$F$ is the granddaughter of $E$. Since $C$ is the mother of $F$ and $B$ is the father of $F$,and there are two married couples,$E$ must be the husband of $D$ (the other married couple).
$4$. Therefore,$C$ is the mother of $A$.

$(i)$ In a family of six persons $A, B, C, D, E$ and $F$,there are two married couples.
$(ii)$ $D$ is grandmother of $A$ and mother of $B$.
$(iii)$ $C$ is wife of $B$ and mother of $F$.
$(iv)$ $F$ is the granddaughter of $E$.
How many male members are there in the family?
A
Two
B
Three
C
Four
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(D) $1$. From $(ii)$,$D$ is the mother of $B$ and grandmother of $A$. Since $D$ is the grandmother,$D$ is female.
$2$. From $(iii)$,$C$ is the wife of $B$,so $C$ is female and $B$ is male.
$3$. From $(iv)$,$F$ is the granddaughter of $E$. Since $D$ is the grandmother of $A$ and $B$ is the father of $F$,$E$ must be the grandfather (husband of $D$). Thus,$E$ is male.
$4$. The family members are $D$ (female),$E$ (male),$B$ (male),$C$ (female),$F$ (female),and $A$.
$5$. We know $B$ is the father of $A$ (since $C$ is the mother of $F$ and $B$ is the husband of $C$).
$6$. The gender of $A$ is not specified in the given statements.
$7$. Therefore,the number of male members depends on the gender of $A$. If $A$ is male,there are $3$ males $(B, E, A)$. If $A$ is female,there are $2$ males $(B, E)$.
$8$. Thus,the total number of male members cannot be determined.

$(ii)$ $D$ is the grandmother of $A$ and mother of $B$.
$(iii)$ $C$ is the wife of $B$ and mother of $F$.
$(iv)$ $F$ is the granddaughter of $E$.
Which of the following is true?
A
$A$ is the brother of $F$
B
$A$ is the sister of $F$
C
$D$ has two grandsons
D
None of these

Solution

(D) $1$. From $(ii)$,$D$ is the mother of $B$ and grandmother of $A$. Since $D$ is the grandmother,$E$ must be the grandfather (husband of $D$) because there are two married couples.
$2$. From $(iii)$,$C$ is the wife of $B$. Thus,$(B, C)$ is the second married couple.
$3$. From $(iii)$,$F$ is the daughter of $C$ and $B$. From $(iv)$,$F$ is the granddaughter of $E$,which is consistent.
$4$. Since $D$ is the grandmother of $A$ and $B$ is the father of $F$,$A$ and $F$ are children of $B$ and $C$.
$5$. The gender of $A$ is not specified in the given information. Therefore,we cannot determine if $A$ is the brother or sister of $F$.
$6$. Option $(C)$ is incorrect because we do not know the gender of $A$. Thus,the correct answer is $(D)$.

$(ii)$ $D$ is the grandmother of $A$ and mother of $B$.
$(iii)$ $C$ is the wife of $B$ and mother of $F$.
$(iv)$ $F$ is the granddaughter of $E$.
Who among the following is one of the couples?
A
$CD$
B
$DE$
C
$EB$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(B) $1$. From $(iii)$,$C$ is the wife of $B$. Therefore,$(B, C)$ is one married couple.
$2$. From $(ii)$,$D$ is the mother of $B$. Since $D$ is the grandmother of $A$,and $B$ is the father of $F$ (as $C$ is the mother of $F$),$D$ must be the mother of $B$.
$3$. From $(iv)$,$F$ is the granddaughter of $E$. Since $D$ is the grandmother of $F$ (as mother of $B$),$E$ must be the grandfather of $F$ and the husband of $D$.
$4$. Thus,$(D, E)$ is the second married couple.
$5$. The two couples are $(B, C)$ and $(D, E)$.

All the six members of a family $A, B, C, D, E$ and $F$ are travelling together. $B$ is the son of $C$ but $C$ is not the mother of $B$. $A$ and $C$ are a married couple. $E$ is the brother of $C$. $D$ is the daughter of $A$. $F$ is the brother of $B$. How many male members are there in the family?
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) is the son of $C$ but $C$ is not the mother of $B$,which implies $C$ is the father of $B$.
$A$ and $C$ are a married couple,and since $C$ is the father,$A$ must be the mother.
$F$ is the brother of $B$,so $F$ is also the son of $A$ and $C$.
$D$ is the daughter of $A$,so $D$ is the daughter of $A$ and $C$.
$E$ is the brother of $C$,so $E$ is male.
Now,identifying the gender of each member:
$A$: Female (Mother)
$B$: Male (Son)
$C$: Male (Father)
$D$: Female (Daughter)
$E$: Male (Brother of $C$)
$F$: Male (Son)
Counting the males: $B, C, E, F$. There are $4$ male members in the family.

Solution

(B) is the son of $C$,but $C$ is not the mother of $B$. This implies that $C$ is the father of $B$.
Since $A$ and $C$ are a married couple,$A$ must be the mother of $B$.
$F$ is the brother of $B$,which means $F$ is also the son of $A$ and $C$.
$D$ is the daughter of $A$,which means $D$ is the daughter of $A$ and $C$.
Therefore,$A$ is the mother of $B$.

$F$ is the brother of $B$,which means $F$ is also the son of $A$ and $C$.
$D$ is the daughter of $A$,which means $D$ is the daughter of $A$ and $C$.
Therefore,$A$ has three children: $B$ (son),$F$ (son),and $D$ (daughter).
