Quiz 5

Sunny must be  B son.

From the clues we can see that no lady is either a teacher or an engineer. Hence these have to be males. Now since
Raina is a male, Haiden is a female because Haiden is
lawyer and is married to Raina. Balaji the engineer is
married to Patel. Hence Balaji is a male and Patel is a
female so Patel cannot be teacher or engineer. It is also
given that she is neither a lawyer or a doctor. Thus, she is
a manager.

Again, Murli is sister of Morkel who is the manager.
Morkel is a male because no two females have the same
profession and Patel is a female and a manager. On the same
grounds, Murli cannot be lawyer hence she is a doctor. By
elimination of clues Gony is a lawyer and a male.
Now let us tabulate all the conclusions in a table:

Mother-in-law only daughter means wife.Thus the statement could be read as His mother is my wife.Thus Ralf must be the father of the boy.

The man is the son of the women’s uncle i.e.the man is the women’s cousin.

Option(a) could have been correct but,it has been mentioned that the mother is the only daughter.This only means that Pam must be the mother of that person.
