The final arrangement is as follows: in-law of X. Hence, option 4.

19. Solution (1)

Considering option a D (is mother of) F and G (is
brother of) F and T (is brother of) G, so T is son of
D. Hence, option a.

So, Q can be 60 years old

Hence, option 3.

16. Solution (4)

20. Solution (1)
L is daughter-in-law of M . T%V#Q=R+S
J  L means J is the father of L . Here, R is the husband of S. Hence, S is the
female member of the family.
Hence, option (a) is not correct.
b) P # T % Q # R = S % V
Here, P is the wife of T, T is Q's brother, Q is
R's wife, R is S's father and S is V's brother.
L%N means L is the wife of N .
We get,

N # K means N is the son of K.

Here, S is the nephew of T's spouse.
Hence, option (b) is not correct.
c) P % V % S # T = R
Here, S is T's wife.
K % M means K is the wife of M.
Hence, option (c) is not correct.
d) S + U & P + V & Q % R # T
S is U's husband, U is P's mother, P is V's
husband, V is Q's mother, Q is R's brother and R
is T's wife
Hence, option (4) is correct.
17. Solution (2) The family diagram is,
C#F/X/T:D means C (is mother of) F (is
sister of) X (is sister of) T and D (is father
of) T
So, C is wife of D. Hence, option 2.

Here, S is the grandfather of T's spouse.
