Blood Relations Reasoning

Blood Relations

If A + B means A is the mother of B; A - B means A is the brother B; A % B means A is the father of B and A x B means A is the sister of B, which of the following shows that P is the maternal uncle of Q?

P - M → P is the brother of M

M + N → M is the mother of N

N x Q → N is the sister of Q

Therefore, P is the maternal uncle of Q.

Example:Introducing a boy, a girl said, "He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle." How is the boy related to the girl?

The father of the boy's uncle → the grandfather of the boy and daughter of the grandfather → sister of father.

Example 1:Mr Deepak Mohan walks 5 km towards the south and then turns to the right. After walking 3 km he turns to the left and walks 5 km. What direction is he facing right now?

Directions and Reasoning

Circular Sitting

Circular Sitting arrangement

The kinds:

There can be two ways of seating people in a circle where people are sitting:-

• facing inwards – towards the center of the circle,
• facing outward – away from the center of the circle.
• When facing inwards:
• Where all the persons to be arranged face the center – then
• all their ‘rights’ is in the anti-clockwise direction,
• their ‘lefts’ is in the clockwise direction.
• When facing outwards:
• Where all the persons to be arranged face the centre – then
• i. all their ‘rights’ is in the clockwise direction,
• ii. their ‘lefts’ is in the anti-clockwise direction.

1. Father is four times the age of his daughter. If after 5 years, he would be three times of daughter’s age, then further after 5 years, how many times he would be of his daughter’s age?

Age Problems

Let the daughter's age be x and father's age be 4x.

So as per question, 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5). So x = 10.

Hence present age of daughter is 10 years and present age of father is 40 years.

So after 5 + 5 = 10 years, daughter age would be 20 years and father’s age would be 50 years.

Hence father would be 50/20 = 2.5 times of daughter’s age.

Mushtaq, Pervaiz, Ahsan, Umair and Saleem are friends having different heights and weights. Mushtaq weighs four times as much as Pervaiz and Pervaiz weighs double than Ahsan. Ahsan weighs half as much as Umair and Umair weighs half as much as Saleem.

(i) Who is the heaviest among five friends? M

(ii) Who is the second heaviest? S

(iii) Who has the lowest weight? A

(iv) Who are equal in weight? U,P

(v) Mention the descending order M>S>U>P>A

CSS 2020

Solution : Mushtaq=M , Pervaiz=P . Ahsan=A Saleem =S, Umair=U

M=4P

P=2A or A= P/2

A=1/2U or U= 2A

U=1/2S or S = 2U

lets assume that weight of pervaiz is 10kg then

M=40kg, A=5kg, U=10kg, S=20kg

A man is now 3times as old as his son.In 10 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76 .How old was the man when his son was born?

CSS 2021

let son's present age = x

man 's present age = 3 x

(x+10)+(3x+10)=76

4x+20=76

4x=76-20

4x=56

x=56/4

x=14

son's present age =14

man's present age= 3*14=42

man's age when his son was born =42-14=28 years
