Mindtree logical reasoning questions – set 1

1. A lady meets a person in the market who is the wife of the brother of her husband.
How is the lady related to the person?

1. Cousin
2. Sister
3. Sister-in-law
4. Nephew

Ans:  c
Whenever we solve a blood relation problem, it is much easier if we start tracing the
relation from the end of the statement. Starting from the word, “her husband”, we can
trace it as her husband’s brother, who is none other than her brother in law and her
brother-in-law’s wife is her sister in law.
Therefore the answer is sister-in-law.

2. If ‘A x D’ means ‘A is the sister of D’, ‘A + D’ means ‘D is the daughter of A’ and ‘’A ÷ D’

means ‘A is the mother of D’, then how will ‘N is the aunt of M’ be denoted?

1. M + L x N

2. M ÷ L + N
3. L x N ÷M
4. N x L ÷ M

Ans:  d
Here, for N to be the aunt of M, N should be M’s mother’s sister. Therefore between N and
another variable, there should be an ‘x’ mark and between the variable and M, there
should be a ‘÷’ mark. The only answer which satis es this is option d, N x L ÷ M

3. Pointing to a man, a lady said, “he is the son of my husband’s daughter”. How is the
man related to this lady?

1. Grandson
2. Son
3. Daughter
4. Father

Ans:  a
Trace the statement from the end, “my husband’s daughter”, her husband’s daughter is
none other than her daughter. Son of her husband’s daughter is Son of her daughter, who
is none other than lady’s daughter’s son, her grandson.

 4. Pointing to a girl, Mihir said, “She is the only daughter of my grandfather’s only child.”
How is the girl related to Mihir?

1. Daughter
2. Niece
3. Sister
4. Data inadequate

Ans:  c
To trace the relation, start from “my grandfather’s only child”, that child is none other than
my father or mother. “the only daughter of my grandfather’s only child” can be interpreted
as the only daughter of my father or mother, who is none other than my sister. So, Mihir
should be a boy and the girl should be his sister.

is the person in photograph related to Swati?

1. Uncle
2. Father-in-law
3. Brother
4. Grand father

Ans:  a
To trace the relation, start from “my brother’s sister”, my brother’s sister is none other
than my sister. “Uncle of my brother’s sister” is the uncle of my sister, who is none other
than my uncle. So the person is Swati’s uncle.

6. A + B means A is the brother of B; A – B means A is the wife of B, and A * B means A is

the mother of B. which of the following means M is the brother-in-law of P?

1. M-N + P
2. M + N – P
3. M * N + P
4. M – P * N

Ans:  a
M becomes P’s brother-in-law when P marries M’s brother or sister. To represent the
relation (brothers) of M and M’s brother or sister we use ‘+’, which is M + N. Now to
represent N and P as a couple, ‘N-P’ is used. Therefore the answer is M + N – P.
