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 ?
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.
