SSC Stenographer 2019 Previous Year Paper (24-Dec-2020) (Shift 2)

Yashwant, Priyank and Gaurav are the sons of Bhuvan.

Blood Relation Analysis: Deconstructing the Family Tree

This solution breaks down the relationships described in the question to determine which statement about the family structure is incorrect. We will carefully analyze each piece of information to build a clear family tree.

Building the Vedika-Gaurav Family Connections

  • Vedika is the wife of Gaurav. This establishes a marital relationship: Gaurav -- Vedika.
  • Gaurav is the husband of Kadambini's daughter. Since Vedika is Gaurav's wife, this means Vedika is the daughter of Kadambini. (Kadambini -> Vedika)

Mapping Meeta and Rohan's Parentage

  • Meeta is the daughter of Malti. (Malti -> Meeta)
  • Rohan is the brother of Meeta. This means they share the same parents.
  • Since Malti is Meeta's mother, Malti is also Rohan's mother. (Malti -> Rohan, Meeta)
  • Priyank is the husband of Rohan's mother. As Malti is Rohan's mother, Priyank is the husband of Malti. (Priyank -- Malti)
  • This confirms that Priyank and Malti are the parents of Rohan and Meeta.

Connecting Bhuvan to the Family

  • Yashwant is the son of Bhuvan. (Bhuvan -> Yashwant)
  • Bhuvan is the paternal grandfather of Meeta. This means Bhuvan is the father of Meeta's father.
  • We identified Priyank as Meeta's father. Therefore, Bhuvan is the father of Priyank. (Bhuvan -> Priyank)
  • Rohan is the son of Vedika's brother. This means Vedika has a brother, and this brother is the father of Rohan.
  • We know Priyank is the father of Rohan. So, Priyank must be Vedika's brother.
  • Since Bhuvan is the father of Priyank, and Priyank is Vedika's brother, it follows that Bhuvan is also the father of Vedika. (Bhuvan -> Vedika)

Finalizing the Family Structure

Based on the deductions:

  • Bhuvan is the father.
  • Bhuvan's children are: Vedika (daughter), Yashwant (son), and Priyank (son).
  • Gaurav is married to Vedika (Bhuvan's daughter), making Gaurav Bhuvan's son-in-law.
  • Malti is married to Priyank (Bhuvan's son).
  • Rohan and Meeta are the children of Priyank and Malti.

Evaluating Each Statement for Correctness

Now, let's assess each statement based on the established family relationships:

Statement 1 Assessment: Yashwant, Priyank and Gaurav are the sons of Bhuvan.

  • Yashwant is the son of Bhuvan: This is explicitly stated in the question and is correct.
  • Priyank is the son of Bhuvan: This is deduced because Priyank is Vedika's brother, and Vedika is Bhuvan's daughter. This is correct.
  • Gaurav is the son of Bhuvan: This is incorrect. Gaurav is married to Vedika, who is Bhuvan's daughter. Therefore, Gaurav is Bhuvan's son-in-law, not his son.

Since one part of this statement is false, the entire statement is NOT Correct.

Statement 2 Assessment: Malti is the wife of Bhuvan's son.

  • Bhuvan's son is Priyank.
  • Malti is the wife of Priyank, as confirmed by the relationship details (Priyank is husband of Rohan's mother, Malti).

This statement is Correct.

Statement 3 Assessment: Vedika is the sister of Yashwant.

  • Vedika and Yashwant are both children of Bhuvan.
  • They are siblings.

This statement is Correct.

Statement 4 Assessment: Vedika is the daughter of Bhuvan.

  • Priyank is confirmed as Bhuvan's son.
  • Vedika is Priyank's sister.
  • Therefore, Vedika is indeed Bhuvan's daughter.

This statement is Correct.

Final Conclusion

The question asks to identify the statement that is NOT correct. Based on our detailed analysis of the family relationships:

  • Statement 1 claims Yashwant, Priyank, and Gaurav are sons of Bhuvan. While Yashwant and Priyank are indeed sons of Bhuvan, Gaurav is only the son-in-law. Thus, Statement 1 is incorrect.
  • Statements 2, 3, and 4 were found to be correct based on the provided information and logical deductions.

Therefore, the statement that is NOT correct is: Yashwant, Priyank and Gaurav are the sons of Bhuvan.
