Key Points at a Glance

  1. 1

    Blood-relation questions are solved by mapping generation, gender, marriage and sibling links before reading the final query.

  2. 2

    The official CET Graduation syllabus lists Blood relations as a standalone topic under Logical Reasoning and Mathematics, so preparation should stay focused on family-relation logic.

  3. 3

    A reliable diagram separates blood links from in-law links and keeps the asked direction clear: relation of A to B is not the same as relation of B to A.

  4. 4

    Negative clues such as not daughter or only son must be handled carefully; they limit possibilities but do not create extra facts unless the statement says so.

  5. 5

    Coded relation statements become easy when symbols are translated one by one into mother, father, spouse, child or sibling links.

  6. 6

    Exam answers should be checked by tracing the path back through every clue, because one skipped generation usually changes the relation completely.

Syllabus Scope And Core Method

In CET Graduation, Blood relations belongs to the Logical Reasoning and Mathematics block. The demand is not family-law theory or social custom; it is the ability to convert short relationship statements into a clean structure and then answer the exact relation asked. Start every item by marking four things: generation, gender, marriage link and sibling link. Generation means who is above, below or at the same level. Gender is used only when the statement gives it directly through words such as mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, husband or wife. Marriage links create in-law relations, while parent-child and sibling links create blood relations. The final question must be read in its direction. If the question asks “How is A related to B?”, trace the path from A to B; if it asks “How is B related to A?”, the answer may change completely. A compact family tree is enough: place older generation above, younger generation below, spouses on the same line and siblings on the same generation line. Do not bring in extra assumptions about age, caste, surname, city or family size unless the question states them. The safest solving order is: translate each clue, draw only the necessary people, mark uncertain gender with a neutral sign, trace the asked path, and then verify every clue once again before choosing the option.
