Understanding Family Relationships: Finding G's Relation to F

This question asks us to determine the relationship between two members, G and F, within a family based on the given clues. To solve this, we need to carefully analyze each statement and build a family tree or diagram representing the relationships.

Analyzing the Family Structure Clues

We are given information about seven members: B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Let's break down each clue:

  1. H is the only daughter-in-law of D. This tells us that H is married to a son of D. 'Only daughter-in-law' implies D has only one son who is married.
  2. E is the sister of C. This means E and C are siblings.
  3. C is the only son of F, who is the wife of D.
    • F is the wife of D. So, D and F are a married couple.
    • C is the only son of F. Since F is married to D, C is also the son of D.
    • Being the 'only son' of F (and D) confirms that D has only one son, who is C.
  4. B and G are the sons of H. This means H is the mother of B and G. B and G are brothers.

Building the Family Tree

Let's connect the clues:

  • From clue 3, D and F are married, and C is their son. F is the mother, and D is the father.
  • From clue 2, E is the sister of C. Since C is the son of D and F, E must be the daughter of D and F. So, D and F have children C (son) and E (daughter). C is their only son.
  • From clue 1, H is the only daughter-in-law of D. A daughter-in-law is the wife of a son. Since C is the only son of D, H must be married to C.
  • From clue 4, B and G are the sons of H. Since H is married to C, B and G are the sons of both H and C.

Based on this, we can visualize the family structure:

Generation Members Relationships
Grandparents D (Male), F (Female) Married Couple
Parents C (Male), E (Female), H (Female) C is son of D&F.
E is daughter of D&F.
C is married to H.
Children / Grandchildren B (Male), G (Male) Sons of C&H. Grandchildren of D&F.

Determining the Relationship of G to F

We need to find how G is related to F.

  • G is the son of C.
  • C is the son of F.

Therefore, G is the son of F's son. The son of one's son is called a grandson.

Thus, G is the grandson of F.

Conclusion

By carefully piecing together the given relationships, we determined that G is the son of C, and C is the son of F. This establishes G as the grandson of F.
