Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Let me break down this family relationship puzzle so it's super easy to follow!


First, let's list out the direct facts:

  • BB is the son of CC, but CC is NOT the mother of BB → This means CC is BB's father
  • AA and CC are a married couple → Since CC is the father, AA must be the mother
  • EE is the brother of CC → EE is male (uncle to the children)
  • DD is the daughter of AA → DD is female and AA's child
  • FF is the brother of BB → FF is male and another son

Now we can build the family tree:

Parents:

  • C=C = Father (male)
  • A=A = Mother (female)

Children of AA and CC:

  • B=B = Son (male)
  • D=D = Daughter (female)
  • F=F = Son (male)

Extended family:

  • E=E = Brother of CC, so uncle to the children (male)

Let's match List-I with List-II:

(A) The number of male members in the family

Males: CC (father), BB (son), FF (son), EE (uncle) =4= 4 males

Answer: (III) 44


(B) Mother of BB

AA is married to CC, and CC is BB's father, so AA is the mother

Answer: (IV) AA


(C) Number of children of AA

AA's children: BB, DD, and FF =3= 3 children

Answer: (I) 33


(D) Uncle of FF

FF's father is CC, and EE is the brother of CC, so EE is FF's uncle

Answer: (II) EE


The correct matching is:

(A)→(III)(A) \rightarrow (III)

(B)→(IV)(B) \rightarrow (IV)

(C)→(I)(C) \rightarrow (I)

(D)→(II)(D) \rightarrow (II)

Choose the option that shows: AA-IIIIII, BB-IVIV, CC-II, DD-IIII
