Neha says that woman is her mother. Therefore, the man is Neha\u2019s maternal uncle, so Neha is his niece.\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\">\n  <p>Q2.

Corrected Family Tree Puzzle: In a family of seven members A, B, C, D, E, F and G, there are three generations and two married couples. C is the mother-in-law of F, who is the wife of B. A is the father of D. D is the unmarried brother of B. G is the nephew of D. E is the sister of G and granddaughter of A.

Therefore D is E\u2019s paternal uncle. The original version did not state D\u2019s gender or sibling link to B clearly enough, so this clue has been corrected for uniqueness.\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"final-summary\">\n<h3>Quiz Summary<\/h3>\n<div class=\"summary-row\"><span>Attempted<\/span><div class=\"summary-bar\"><div class=\"bar-fill bar-attempted\" data-summary=\"attempted\"><\/div><\/div><span data-count=\"attempted\">0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"summary-row\"><span>Correct<\/span><div class=\"summary-bar\"><div class=\"bar-fill bar-correct\" data-summary=\"correct\"><\/div><\/div><span data-count=\"correct\">0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"summary-row\"><span>Wrong<\/span><div class=\"summary-bar\"><div class=\"bar-fill bar-wrong\" data-summary=\"wrong\"><\/div><\/div><span data-count=\"wrong\">0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"summary-row\"><span>Unattempted<\/span><div class=\"summary-bar\"><div class=\"bar-fill bar-unattempted\" data-summary=\"unattempted\"><\/div><\/div><span data-count=\"unattempted\">0<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"final-score\">Final Score: <span class=\"score-value\" data-score>0.00<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"blood-completion-modal\">\n<div class=\"completion-content\">\n<button class=\"completion-close\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Close quiz result\">\u2716<\/button>\n<h2 class=\"completion-title\">Quiz Completed!<\/h2>\n<div class=\"completion-score-text\">You have scored:<\/div>\n<div class=\"completion-score-number\" id=\"blood-modal-score\">0.00<\/div>\n<p class=\"completion-message\">Practise more Blood Relation questions.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/s1.practicemock.com\/exams\/?c=banking&#038;i=banking\" class=\"completion-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solve More Questions<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<script>\n(function () {\n  \"use strict\";\n\n  const quizBox = document.getElementById(\"quiz-blood-relation-3\");\n  const modal = document.getElementById(\"blood-completion-modal\");\n\n  if (!quizBox || !modal) return;\n\n  const allQuestions = quizBox.querySelectorAll(\".question\");\n  const totalQuestions = allQuestions.length;\n  const storageName = \"blood_relation_3q_v1\";\n\n  let currentScore = 0;\n  let totalAttempted = 0;\n  let totalCorrect = 0;\n  let totalWrong = 0;\n\n  function closeCompletionModal() {\n    modal.classList.remove(\"is-active\");\n  }\n\n  const closeButton = modal.querySelector(\".completion-close\");\n  closeButton.addEventListener(\"click\", closeCompletionModal);\n\n  modal.addEventListener(\"click\", function (event) {\n    if (event.target === modal) closeCompletionModal();\n  });\n\n  document.addEventListener(\"keydown\", function (event) {\n    if (event.key === \"Escape\") closeCompletionModal();\n  });\n\n  function getSavedData() {\n    try {\n      return JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem(storageName) || \"{}\");\n    } catch (error) {\n      return {};\n    }\n  }\n\n  function saveData(data) {\n    try {\n      sessionStorage.setItem(storageName, JSON.stringify(data));\n    } catch (error) {\n      \/* Quiz still works if browser storage is unavailable. *\/\n    }\n  }\n\n  function refreshScreen() {\n    const totalUnattempted = totalQuestions - totalAttempted;\n\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-count=\"attempted\"]').textContent = totalAttempted;\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-count=\"correct\"]').textContent = totalCorrect;\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-count=\"wrong\"]').textContent = totalWrong;\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-count=\"unattempted\"]').textContent = totalUnattempted;\n\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-summary=\"attempted\"]').style.width =\n      ((totalAttempted \/ totalQuestions) * 100) + \"%\";\n\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-summary=\"correct\"]').style.width =\n      ((totalCorrect \/ totalQuestions) * 100) + \"%\";\n\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-summary=\"wrong\"]').style.width =\n      ((totalWrong \/ totalQuestions) * 100) + \"%\";\n\n    quizBox.querySelector('[data-summary=\"unattempted\"]').style.width =\n      ((totalUnattempted \/ totalQuestions) * 100) + \"%\";\n\n    const displayScore = currentScore.toFixed(2);\n\n    quizBox.querySelector(\"[data-score]\").textContent = displayScore;\n    document.getElementById(\"blood-score-value\").textContent = displayScore;\n    document.getElementById(\"blood-modal-score\").textContent = displayScore;\n  }\n\n  function showExplanation(questionElement) {\n    const explanation = questionElement.querySelector(\".answer-explanation\");\n    if (explanation) explanation.style.display = \"block\";\n  }\n\n  function lockQuestion(questionElement, clickedButtonIndex, isCorrect) {\n    questionElement.dataset.answered = \"true\";\n\n    const buttons = questionElement.querySelectorAll(\".answer-option\");\n    buttons.forEach(function (button) {\n      button.classList.add(\"locked\");\n    });\n\n    if (buttons[clickedButtonIndex]) {\n      buttons[clickedButtonIndex].classList.add(isCorrect ?
