About Blood Relations MCQs

Chain questions link several people in a line, for example a son of one person who is the daughter of another, and ask for the relation between the first and last. Photograph and introduction questions use a single sentence such as "She is the only daughter of my wife's mother" and ask how the woman is related to the speaker.

Coded relation questions use symbols such as + and × to stand for husband, father or daughter, and ask you to decode an expression or find which expression shows a given relation. All three types depend on drawing a small family tree that shows generation and gender. They appear regularly in MDCAT, NTS, ISSB, SSC and bank exams, and a tidy diagram makes even long chains quick to solve.

Key facts to remember

  • Your father's or mother's brother is your uncle, and their children are your cousins.
  • Your mother's mother's husband is your maternal grandfather.
  • "The only daughter of my wife's mother" refers to the speaker's wife.
  • A person's gender cannot be assumed from a name; only words such as son, wife or brother fix it.
  • Your sibling's son is your nephew and your sibling's daughter is your niece.

How to prepare for Blood Relations MCQs

  1. Draw a family tree with generations in rows, using + for male and − for female, and marriage as a horizontal double line.
  2. Work backwards from the end of a sentence such as "my father's only brother's daughter".
  3. Do not assume gender from names; if gender is not stated, "cannot be determined" may be the right answer.
  4. In coded questions, decode each symbol into words before drawing anything.

Frequently asked questions
