Information on 2 or more persons is given and based upon their relationship, questions are asked. Here are some quick tips to help you with this section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t assume anything when answering the question. Unless something specific is given, have an open-minded approach on things like gender, no. of sons\/daughters etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can start the question keeping yourself as the subject and build the relationships accordingly. This might help you answer the questions easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do a lot of practice using the above method. It will help you in answering the question quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another approach to answering this question would be the diagram method. Use different lines for parallel relationships and different lines for generational differences (for eg. lines and dotted lines)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, use different symbols for males &amp; females (for eg. + and -).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do a lot of practice using diagrams which will improve your understanding and will increase your speed of solving questions on this topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the question is lengthy, you may like to break the question into small parts and start solving keeping the small parts in mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ssc-cgl\/?ref=6744\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2080\" height=\"2080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Relationships-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38548\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the above tips, we have come up with some shortcuts using which while practising will improve your speed.
