Way to form Generation Tree
To develop blood relation tree, some standard symbols are used to indicate the relationship among the family members. Which are as follows.

=>  A is a male =   

=> A is a female =
=>  Gender of a is unknown = A
=> A and B are married to each other = 
=> A and B are siblings = 
=>  A and B are children of C =                       
                          

                                    

·        A is only child of B =

                  

                              
·       

A is mother of B=   
               
                                                            
                                                                  
·       

A is father of B=   
             
                                                                                                            
                                                                   
·        
A is son of B=        
         
                                                
                                                   
·       
A is daughter of B=    
                      
                                                                

Question covered under the head of ‘Blood Relation’ further divided into following

Types :

Type 1. Statement Based

In this type of question, a round description is given in form of certain small relationship. You should analyse the whole chain of relations and dicipher.
The direct relationship between the person concerned.
There are various formats/ patterns of blood relation, some of which are illustrated below.

Example 1. Pointing to a girl, Mihir Said “ she is only daughter of my grandfather’s only child. How is the girl related to Mihir?
a)     Daughter
b)     Niece
c)     Sister

e)     None of these.

Solution:- (c)

                                                                                                     
Hence, girl is the daughter of Mihir’s father, so girl is sister of Mihir.

Solution. e)


Here, gender of M is not known. Hence we cannot find the result.


Type2: Coded Relation
In this type of question relations are not given directly but represented in the form of symbols. First we have to use these codes, then expect important informations and finally answer the required one.

Example1. If A + B means A is the brother of B.
A ÷ B means A is the father of B and
A x B means A is the sister of B
Which of the following means M is the uncle of P?
1)     NxP÷M
2)     M+S÷R÷P
3)     M÷NxP
4)     M+K÷TxP
5)     None of these

Solution 4)


Here M is brother of P’s father. Hence M is uncle of P.
