In such problems, the aptitude of candidate is shown by the knowledge of the various blood relations. The typical relationships that are commonly used in blood relation problems are summarized as follows

• Father’s or Mother’s son = Brother
• Father’s or Mother’s daughter = Sister
• Father’s or Mother’s brother = Uncle
• Father’s or Mother’s sister = Aunt
• Father’s or Mother’s father = Grandfather
• Father’s or Mother’s mother = Grandmother
• Brother’s or Sister’s Son = Nephew
