Solution
Given:
B is taller than E but shorter than D → D > B > E
A is shorter than C but taller than D → C > A > D
Combined order (tallest to shortest):
C > A > D > B > E
4th from the tallest: B
- In a family of six-person A, B, C, D, E, and F there are two married couples.
- D is the grandmother of A and mother of B.
- C is the wife of B and mother of F
- F is the granddaughter of E
Solution
Given:
D is the grandmother of A and mother of B ⇒ B is A’s parent.
C is the wife of B ⇒ C is spouse of A’s parent.
Therefore, C is A’s mother.
Answer: Mother
- In a family of six-person A, B, C, D, E, and F there are two married couples.
- D is the grandmother of A and mother of B.
- C is the wife of B and mother of F
- F is the granddaughter of E
Solution
From the statements:
• C is wife of B ⇒ B is male, C is female.
• D is grandmother/mother ⇒ D is female.
• F is granddaughter ⇒ F is female.
So far, confirmed genders:
Male: B
Female: C, D, F
The problem says there are two married couples.
One couple is clearly (B, C).
The second couple could be:
• (D, E) ⇒ E male, or
• (A, E) ⇒ A male, or
• (A, someone) depending on relations not specified.
Since the gender of A and E is not fixed by the data, the total number of male members can vary.
Therefore, the exact number of male members cannot be uniquely determined.
Correct conclusion: Cannot be determined
- In a family of six-person A, B, C, D, E, and F there are two married couples.
- D is the grandmother of A and mother of B.
- C is the wife of B and mother of F
- F is the granddaughter of E
Solution
• One married couple is clearly B–C (given: C is the wife of B).
• The problem states there are two married couples.
• D is a grandmother and mother → D is female.
• F is the granddaughter of E → E must be older than F and can be male.
There is no condition contradicting D being married to E. Hence, D–E can be the second couple.
Answer: D and E
- In a family of six-person A, B, C, D, E, and F there are two married couples.
- D is the grandmother of A and mother of B.
- C is the wife of B and mother of F
- F is the granddaughter of E
Solution
C is wife of B ⇒ B is male, C is female.
D is grandmother ⇒ D is female.
F is granddaughter ⇒ F is female.
Gender of A is not given.
So A cannot be surely brother/sister of F, and B having two daughters is also not sure.
Answer: 4) None of these

Final Answer: G has Rs. 20
- T and U are sitting at extreme ends of the row
- S is third to the right of T
- Q is four places to the left of R and P is two places to the left of V
Solution
We need to find who sits in the middle (position 4) among 7 persons.
Using I + II:
T and U are at the extreme ends. If T is at the right end, S cannot be 3rd to the right (out of row).
So T must be at the left end, and S becomes position 4 (middle).
Middle = S
Using I + III:
With T and U fixed at the ends, Q must be 4 places left of R, so only possible is Q at position 2 and R at position 6.
Also P is 2 places left of V, so P at position 3 and V at position 5.
The remaining person S automatically comes at position 4.
Middle = S
Conclusion: Statement I along with either II or III is sufficient.
Correct Option: 3) I and either II or III are sufficient
