Blood Relation Questions Solving Techniques for RRB PO Exam

Below, we have provided some solving techniques that you can use to solve blood relations questions efficiently.

1. Draw Family Tree / Diagram

• Use symbols:
  • Male → □ or M
  • Female → ○ or F
  • Marriage → =
  • Siblings → horizontal line
  • Children → vertical line below
• Example: A (M) --- B (F) | C (M)

2. Identify the Point of View

• Find out who is speaking and what is being asked.
• If the question says “How is X related to Y?”, start with Y and trace the relationship to X.

3. Decode Step-by-Step

• Break long statements into parts.
• For example:
  “A is the sister of B. B is the father of C. How is A related to C?”
  → A → sister of B
  → B → father of C
  → A is aunt of C.

4. Use Substitution for Coded Relations

• For coded questions:
  • A + B → A is the mother of B.
  • A - B → A is the brother of B.
  • A * B → A is the sister of B.
  • A/B → A is the father of B
• Decode each relation one by one, then draw the tree accordingly.

5. Practice Reverse Questions

• If asked: “How is X related to Y?”, draw from Y to X, not X to Y.

Additional Tips for Solving Blood Relation Questions

• Practice 5–10 questions daily.
• Focus on puzzles with 4–6 family members.
• Revise common relations:
  • Father’s brother → Uncle
  • Sister’s son → Nephew
  • Wife’s father → Father-in-law
• Use shorthand notations.
• Eliminate wrong options quickly.
• Don’t assume gender unless specified.
