FAQs on Blood Relation Tricks

Question 1

1. How do I identify the relationship between two people in a blood relation problem?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Identify relationships by tracing the family tree from a common ancestor or reference person. Start by listing what you know (parents, siblings, cousins), then work backwards or forwards to connect the two individuals. Use diagrams or family charts to visualize generational gaps and marriage connections clearly before concluding the final relationship.

Question 2

2. What's the difference between consanguinity and affinity in blood relations?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Consanguinity refers to relationships by blood-parents, siblings, grandparents, and cousins sharing direct lineage. Affinity describes relationships formed through marriage, such as in-laws and step-relations. Distinguishing between these two categories helps solve complex relation tricks where marriage changes the family structure unexpectedly.

Question 3

3. Why do I keep getting confused with cousin relationships like first cousin once removed?

Accepted Answer

Ans. First cousin once removed means one person is your first cousin's child-a generational step up or down. The 'once removed' indicates one generation gap. Create a visual family tree showing your generation, your cousin's generation, and their children's generation to grasp these multi-generational cousin variations easily and avoid exam mistakes.

Question 4

4. How can I solve blood relation puzzles faster using coded language questions?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Coded language questions replace names with letters or symbols (A, B, C). Decode the relationships mentioned, then build a family chart systematically. Practice recognizing repeated patterns like 'father of brother' or 'mother of sister' which simplify to single relationships. Speed comes from memorizing common code patterns used in SSC CGL Tier 2 examinations.

Question 5

5. What are the most common blood relation tricks that appear in competitive exams?

Accepted Answer

Ans. Frequent tricks include gender-neutral relationships ('parent,' 'child'), multiple relationship paths between same individuals, and questions requiring reverse logic. Puzzles mixing consanguinity and affinity relationships also confuse test-takers. Refer to mind maps and flashcards covering common trick patterns to build recognition skills and solve these deceptive questions confidently during your SSC CGL preparation.
