Example 1.

Pointing to a lady in the photograph, Shalu said, “Her son’s father is the son–in–law of my mother.” How is Shalu related to the lady?

Solution: Lady’s son’s father is the lady’s husband. So, the lady’s husband is the son–in–law of Shalu mother, i.e. the lady is the daughter of Shalu mother. Thus, Shalu is the lady’s sister.

Example 2.

A is the father of C and D is the son B. E is the brother of A. If C sister of D, how is B related to E?

Solution: For these types of question, we can use a generation tree.

So, B is a sister in the law of E.
