SSC Stenographer 2020-21 Previous Year Paper (15-Nov-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

D

This explanation breaks down the relationships described in the question to identify A’s mother. We will analyze each piece of information provided.

Analyzing A's Family Connections

  • "A is the son of C": This statement tells us that C is a parent of A.
  • "but C is not the mother of A": Since C is a parent but not the mother, C must be the father of A.
  • "B is A’s sister": This means B and A are siblings. They share the same parent(s). Since C is A’s father, C is also B’s father.
  • "C and D are a married couple": We know C is A’s father (male). If C and D are married, D must be C’s spouse. Given C is the father, D is likely the mother.
  • "E is the mother of C": This makes E the grandmother of A (specifically, the paternal grandmother).

Determining A's Mother

To find A’s mother, let's combine the key facts:

  • We established that C is the father of A.
  • We know that C and D are a married couple.
  • In the context of these family relationship problems, the spouse of the father is typically the mother.

Therefore, since C is A’s father and C is married to D, D must be A’s mother.

The question asks who is A’s mother. Based on the deduced relationships, D is A’s mother.
