Frequently asked questions
What kind of blood relation puzzles does NMAT ask?
This page has two multi-generation family puzzles — one with eight members across three generations, another with seven members and two married couples — where you deduce exact relationships from clues.
What's the best way to solve blood relation puzzles?
Draw a family tree as you read each clue, marking gender and generation level; most errors come from not fixing gender (e.g. assuming M is male) before the clues confirm it.
Are coded-relation questions also covered here?
Yes — one question ('your son is the son-in-law of my only sister's father') requires chaining two or three relation statements together rather than reading from a direct family tree.
How many questions and sets are in this page?
Two separate family-relation sets are given, with 5 questions each (10 total), including one letter-based puzzle mixed into the second set.
