General Mental Ability_How to solve Blood Relation Questions easily

How to solve Blood Relation Questions easily

Family or Blood Relationship means persons connected by relations like –
father-mother, son daughter, brother-sister, grandfather-grandmother, uncle-aunt, nephew-niece, brother-in-law sister-in-law etc. The list can go on and on adding members from father's side and mother's side etc.
Questions in Test of Reasoning on Family /Blood Relationship are about the relationship of a particular person with another person of the family, based on the chain of relationships between other members of that family

Family/Blood Relation Tests are an exercise to test the candidate's ability to comprehend and come to the crux of an issue from complex, lengthy and unclear data.
 Example 1:
'Ram' is the father of 'Kusha' but 'Kusha' is not his son. 'Mala' is the daughter of 'Kusha'.'Shalaka' is the spouse of 'Ram'. 'Gopal' is the brother of 'Kusha'. 'Hari' is the son of 'Gopal'. 'Meena' is the spouse of 'Gopal'. 'Ganpat' is the father of 'Meena'. Who is the grand daughter of 'Ram'?
(1) Hari
(2) Mala
(3) Meena
(4) Shalaka
Solution:
'Mala' is the daughter of 'Kusha' and 'Ram' is the father of 'Kusha'. So, 'Mala' is the granddaughter of 'Ram'. Hence, answer is (2) Mala.
Some Common Terms
Meaning of some terms often used in questions on family relationship are given below:
a) Parent – Mother or father
b) Child – Son or daughter (even if an adult)
c) Sibling – Brother or sister (Including half brother and half sister - one parent in common)
d) Spouse – Husband or wife
Basic Relationships:-
Aunt, Uncle, Niece and Nephew
  • Most English speakers use "uncle" for any of four relationships: father's brother, mother's brother, father's sister's husband, or mother's sister's husband.
  • Again, "aunt" in English could mean father's sister, mother's sister, father's brother's wife, or mother's brother's wife.
  • Brother's or sister's son is called nephew. Brother's or sister's daughter is called niece.
  • Children of aunt or uncle are called cousins.
Relationships Involving the Term '-in-law'
General
  •  Any relationship term ending with -in-law indicates that the relationship is by marriage and not by blood. In other words, -in-law will be a blood relative of the spouse.
  • In-law relationship terms are always written with hyphens. And the plural is formed on the part before the "-in-law";
For example, "brothers-in-law" and not "brother-in-laws". The only exception is the general term "in-laws", which is always plural.
Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Son-in-law and Daughter-in-law
  •  Father-in-law is the father of spouse; mother-in-law is the mother of spouse. If parents get divorced and remarry, their new spouses are called stepparents, not mother-in-law and father-in-law.
  • The husband of daughter is son-in-law; the wife of son is daughter-in-law. If spouse has children from a previous marriage, those are called stepchildren, not sons-in-law or daughters-in-law. The person is their stepfather or stepmother, not their father-in-law or mother-in-law.
Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law
  •  Brother-in-law" and "Sister-in-law" each have two or three meanings as follows:
a) Sister-in-law could be
i) The sister of spouse, or
ii) The wife of brother, or
iii) The wife of spouse's brother.
b) Similarly, Brother-in-law could be
i) The brother of spouse, or
ii) The husband of sister, or
iii)  The husband of spouse's sister.
Relationships Involving the Terms 'Grand' and 'Great'
  •  The relationships of the second generation are prefixed with the word Grand.
  • Similarly, for a person, the first generation above him would be that of his/her parents (Father/ Mother). The next/second generation above him/her would be the parents of the parents who would be called Grand Parents/ Grand Father/ Grand Mother of that person. The next/ third generation parents would be called Great Grand Parents/ Great Grand Father/ Great Grand Mother of that person.
  • This also applies to the collateral relationships.
For example: Son of nephew of a person is called Grand Nephew; Brother of Grand Father is called Grand Uncle and so on.
  • The fourth generation relationships are called Great Great Grand. For example, Son of Great Grand Son is Great Great Grand Son.
There are two ways Martha could have a stepsister:
a) If Martha's mother marries second time, and her new husband (Martha's new stepfather) already has a daughter from a previous marriage, that daughter is Martha's stepsister because one of her parents is married to one of Martha's parents.
b) If Martha's father marries second time, and his new wife already has a daughter, that daughter is again Martha's stepsister.

Everything you need to know_Indian Cinema

  • The success of these films led to the screening of films by James B. Stewart and Ted Hughes.
  • The history of Indian Cinema goes back to the nineteenth century.
  • In 1896, the very first films shot by the Lumiere Brothers were shown in Mumbai.
  • But history was actually created when Harishchandra Sakharam Bhatavdekar popularly known as Save Dada, the still photographer, was so much influenced by the Lumiere Brothers' production that he ordered a camera from England.
  • His first film was shot at the Hanging Gardens in Mumbai, known as 'The Wrestlers'. It was a simple recording of a wrestling match which was screened in 1899 and is considered as the first motion picture in the Indian Film Industry.

Globally
  1. The hierarchy of metropolitan markets and foreign markets over rural India happened during the framework of a right turn in both political and economical sector, with an increase of Hinduva (Indian nationalism) prices.
  1. Globalization has four different aspects. As far as the goods' circulation, India's industry has a great history in her presentation in the international market.
  1. Bollywood represented the 15% of India film production and justified the 40% of India's income, with an annual growth rate of 10 and 20%. The main cause of this is that Bollywood was the second biggest domain of development in India. The revenues in global markets were skyrocketed.
  1. The Indian film industry produces more movies and sells more tickets than any other film industry. Her incomes are only surpassed by the incomes of U.S.A movies. Researches, like Marc Fetscherin (2010) research, have shown that the factors of a movie's success are universal and not limited locally.
  1. In 2005, were released 1041 films and were sold approximately 3, 6 million tickets all over the world. India is the biggest film production industry universally. In contrast, the U.S.A in 2005 released 535 films and sold 2.6 million tickets.
  1. The Bollywood's annual turnover was calculated at 575 thousand dollars in 2005. Contrary to Hollywood, in which the same year won 23 million dollars. CII and KPMG (2006) estimated that in the period 2006-2007 the incomes of Bollywood will be increased in 16%, while for Hollywood only 7%.
  1. The exports until 2007 were increased up to 60%. The United States and Canada are the two main export destinations and are calculated almost to 30%. United Kingdom is following with 25% and the Mauritius and Dubai with 10% each. Other equally big markets are South Africa, Russia, Fiji islands, New Zealand and Australia, where a large number of India Diaspora dwells.
Impacts of globalization
  • In the middle of (1980-90), India faced a growing economic crisis because of the stagnant economic growth and the persistent balance of payments deficit.
  • This crisis was coped with a loan from the USA of the order of 70 billion dollars making her the third more indebted country in the world.
  • Bollywood exploited this chance and decided to utilize the consumers' power of India Diaspora, in order to cope with the Hollywood's challenge.
  • Via this way it tried to become the biggest global economic power in the cinema industry.
The impact of economic changes in the films
The decade of 1990 marked the revelation of free market reforms in Indian market, known as economic liberalization. The economic liberation revealed the emergence of a global middle class. This middle class has joined by new rich technocrats, who were affected by the consumption patterns that characterize their counterparts in developed countries, have acquired a social economic mobility.
It's true that economists and other social scientists who have written about the causes of economic liberalization in India have supported their views exclusively on maximizing wealth.  Many factors to be taken into account and have been ignored. For instance, a big ideological change or a culture with completely positive shift in the moral assessment of business and commerce.
