अली बालाचा भाऊ आहे. कल्लू अलीचे वडील आहेत. दामू निलाचा भाऊ आहे. निला बालाची मुलगी आहे. तर दामूचे काका दर्शवणारा पर्याय निवडा. Ali is brother of Bala. Kallu is father of Ali. Damu is brother of Nila. Nila is daughter of Bala. Then select the option that indicates Damu's paternal uncle.

1)अली / Ali
2)बाला / Bala
3)कल्लू / Kallu
4)बालाचे लिंग माहित आसायाला हवे / One needs to know Bala's sex✓ Correct

Ali and Bala are brothers (Kallu is their father). Damu and Nila are siblings, and Nila is Bala's daughter. Since Bala's gender (male or female) is not specified, we cannot determine if Bala is Damu's father or mother, hence whether Kallu is the paternal grandfather.

पुढील माहिती काळजीपूर्वक वाचा व त्यावरून प्रश्नाचे उत्तर निवडा. M चे काका असणारी व्यक्ती कोण ? Read the information carefully and using it select the answer to question. Who is a uncle of M ?

a)X हा Y चा भाऊ आहे / X is a brother of Y✓ Correct
b)Z ही X ची बहीण आहे / Z is a sister of X
c)M हा N चा भाऊ आहे / M is a brother of N
d)N ही Y ची मुलगी आहे / N is a daughter of Y

Based on the options provided as individual statements to form sufficiency, statement combinations help deduce M's uncle. Since options are statements, statement 'a' establishes the primary male linkage.

T हा P चा भाऊ आहे, R ही P ची मुलगी आहे, M ही T ची बहीण आहे, V हा R चा भाऊ आहे, तर V चा काका कोण ? T is brother of P, R is daughter of P, M is sister of T, V is the brother of R, then who is the uncle of V ?

1)M
2)P
3)T✓ Correct
4)M किंवा T

T is brother of P, M is sister of T (so M and T are siblings of P). V is brother of R, who is daughter of P (so V is son of P). The uncle of V is his father's brother, which is T.

A, B, C, D, E, F आणि G एका कुटुंबाचे सदस्य आहेत, ज्यामध्ये चार वयस्क असून तीन बालके आहेत, त्यापैकी दोन F आणि G मुली आहेत. A आणि D हे भाऊ असून A डॉक्टर आहे. E एक इंजिनियर असून दोन भावांपैकी एकासोबत विवाहबद्ध असून E ला दोन अपत्ये आहेत. B, D सोबत विवाहित आहे; आणि G त्यांचे अपत्य आहे. तर C कोण आहे? A, B, C, D, E, F and G are the members of a family. Out of them, four are adults and three are children, of which two, F and G are girls. A and D are brothers and A is a Doctor. E is an Engineer and has married one of the two brothers. E has two children. B is married to D and G is their child. Then who is C ?

a)A चा मुलगा / Son of A✓ Correct
b)E ची मुलगी / Daughter of E
c)F चे वडील / Father of F
d)G चा भाऊ / Brother of G

Tracing family relations: A and D are brothers. B is married to D and G is their child. Since E is an Engineer married to one of the brothers (must be A, as D is married to B) and has two children (F and G or F and C), working out the tree shows C is the son of A.

जर A + B म्हणजे, A भाऊ आहे B चा. A x B म्हणजे, A पती आहे B चा. A ÷ B म्हणजे, A माता आहे B ची. A - B म्हणजे, A बहिण आहे B ची. तर खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान निश्चित करते की, T हा P चा पुत्र आहे ? If A + B means, A is brother of B. A x B means, A is husband of B. A ÷ B means, A is mother of B. A - B means, A is sister of B. Then which of the following statements insist that T is son of P ?

a)P x Q + R ÷ S - T
b)P x Q ÷ R x T - S
c)P + Q ÷ R - T x S
d)P x Q ÷ R - T + S✓ Correct

By decoding the family tree symbols (+ for brother, x for husband, ÷ for mother, - for sister), option 4 correctly establishes P as parent and T as the male child (son).
