Understanding the Blood Relation Problem

The question asks us to determine the relationship between a boy shown in a photograph and Reema's daughter. This determination is based on a statement made by Reema herself.

Reema's statement is:

"This boy’s father is the father of my daughter"

To solve this blood relation puzzle, we need to carefully analyze Reema's statement part by part.

Breaking Down Reema's Statement

Let's take the statement and figure out what each part means in terms of family relationships:

1. The statement involves "my daughter". Reema is speaking, so "my daughter" refers to Reema's daughter.
2. The statement mentions "the father of my daughter". Who is the father of Reema's daughter? Since Reema is the mother of her daughter, the father of her daughter must be Reema's husband.
3. Now, let's look at the other part of the statement: "This boy’s father".
4. The complete statement says, "This boy’s father is [the father of my daughter]".
5. Substituting our understanding from step 2, the statement becomes: "This boy’s father is Reema's husband".

So, we now know that the father of the boy in the photograph is Reema's husband.

Connecting the Relationships

We have established two key facts:

• The boy's father is Reema's husband.
• Reema is the wife of her husband (and mother of her daughter).

If the boy's father is Reema's husband, and Reema is the wife of her husband, then Reema is the mother of the boy. This means the boy is the son of Reema and her husband.

Determining the Relationship to Reema's Daughter

Now we know:

• The boy in the photograph is Reema's son.
• The question asks for the boy's relationship to Reema's daughter.

Since the boy is Reema's son and the other person is Reema's daughter, they are siblings who share the same parents (Reema and her husband). Therefore, the boy is the brother of Reema's daughter.

Evaluating the Options

Let's check our conclusion against the given options:

Our analysis clearly indicates that the boy is the brother of Reema's daughter.

Conclusion: The Boy is the Daughter's Brother

Based on Reema's statement and careful step-by-step deduction, the boy in the photograph is the brother of Reema's daughter.

Additional Information: Approaching Blood Relation Questions

Blood relation questions are common in reasoning sections of exams. They test your ability to interpret complex relationships.

• Read Carefully: Pay close attention to the speaker and the exact wording of the statement.
• Break it Down: Split long or complex sentences into smaller, manageable parts. Identify the known relationships first.
• Identify the Core Relation: Look for phrases like "father of my father" (grandfather), "son of my wife" (my son), etc.
• Visualize: Mentally (or on paper) create a simple family tree diagram based on the established facts. Use symbols for male, female, marriage, and sibling connections.
• Work Towards the Goal: Connect the relationships step-by-step until you link the two individuals whose relationship is asked.
• Check Options: Evaluate how each option fits with your derived relationship to confirm your answer.

Practicing different types of blood relation problems will help you become faster and more accurate.
