NIMCET 2007 — Reasoning PYQ

NIMCET | Reasoning | 2007

Directions for : Radha has one unmarried daughter and two sons. Mona is daughter in law of Bharat. Suraj is brother of Kamal but Mona is not his wife. Usha’s daughter Madhu is Kamal’s niece. Ashok’s son Arun is Madhu’s cousin.

How is Bharat related to Madhu:

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

1. Defining Structural Mapping Rules

To construct a clear family tree, we establish generational layers and use specific notation keys:

$(+)$ indicates a Male member.
$(-)$ indicates a Female member.
$(\leftrightarrow)$ indicates a married couple.
$(—)$ indicates siblings.

2. Step-by-Step Breakdown of Family Connections

Step 1: Map the Sibling Group
We are given that Suraj is the brother of Kamal:
$Suraj (+) — Kamal (+)$
We are told Radha has exactly one daughter and two sons. Therefore, Suraj and Kamal represent the two sons.
The text also notes that Usha's daughter Madhu is Kamal's niece. For Madhu to be Kamal's niece, her mother Usha must be Kamal's sister. This fills out Radha's three children:
$Suraj (+) — Kamal (+) — Usha (-)$
Step 2: Connect the Parents' Generation
Mona is the daughter-in-law of Bharat. Since Mona is not Suraj's wife, she must be married to the other brother, Kamal:
$Kamal (+) \leftrightarrow Mona (-)$
Since Kamal is Bharat's son and also Radha's son, Bharat and Radha are married to each other, forming the head of the family grid:
$Bharat Parent (+) \leftrightarrow Radha Parent (-)$
Step 3: Establish the Third Generation Link
The passage explicitly mentions that Madhu is Usha's daughter:
$Usha (-) \to Madhu (Daughter)$

3. Determining the Final Relationship (Bharat to Madhu)

Let's look at the generation paths down the tree:

Top Generation: Bharat is the father of Usha, Kamal, and Suraj.
Middle Generation: Usha is Bharat's daughter.
Bottom Generation: Madhu is Usha's daughter.

Because Usha is the daughter of Bharat, her child Madhu is the maternal granddaughter of Bharat. Looking at it from Madhu's point of view, Bharat belongs to the parental generation's preceding layer.

$Bharat = Mother’s Father ⟹ Grandfather$

Final Answer

Bharat is the Grandfather of Madhu.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).
