Blood Relations
Blood Relation is a key chapter in General Intelligence and Reasoning. It involves problems where the relation between two or more people is described in a complex way. These relations are established either by birth or by marriage. In Indian competitive exams like UPSC, these questions test your ability to link information and draw logical conclusions. To solve these, you must be familiar with family terms used in English. For instance, 'Maternal' refers to the mother's side of the family.
