PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Cousin

Let's analyze the family relationships step-by-step:

  • A is the mother of C: This establishes a mother-child relationship between A and C.
  • C is not the son: This means C is the daughter of A.
  • C has a daughter E: This means E is C's daughter and A's granddaughter.
  • A is married to F: This establishes A and F as a married couple.
  • F has a son B: This means B is F's son and A's stepson (or son, depending on the interpretation that A is the biological mother).
  • B has a son D: This makes D the son of B and the grandson of F (and potentially the grandson of A).

Therefore, D is the son of B, and E is the daughter of C. Since B and C are siblings (either full or half-siblings), D and E are cousins. Their relationship is not direct, but rather a familial relationship stemming from the sibling bond between their parents.

To summarize, D is the grandson (possibly through a stepson) of A and F, while E is the granddaughter of A and F. Because their parents, B and C, share a common parent (A), D and E are cousins.
