Amit says, "Priti's brother is the only son of my father." How is Priti related to Amit?
Appeared in: MP NHM CHO-2024 (Shift-1)
Explanation
- The speaker is Amit.
- The phrase 'the only son of my father' refers to Amit himself, as he is a male.
- Substituting this back into the sentence, we get 'Priti's brother is Amit'.
- If Amit is Priti's brother, then Priti must be Amit's sister.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option B: This is incorrect because Priti and Amit are siblings, which places them in the same generation.
- Option C: This is incorrect because Priti is Amit's sibling, not his child. They are in the same generation.
- Option D: This is incorrect because the relationship described is a blood relation (sharing a father), not a marital one.
Related Visual
- Visual 1: Diagram - A simple family tree showing a father with two children: Amit (the only son) and Priti (the daughter). This visually confirms they are siblings.
Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning - Blood Relations as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- This question tests logical deduction and reasoning skills, which are essential for problem-solving in any field, including nursing.
- Nurses use deductive reasoning to analyze patient symptoms, medical history, and lab results to arrive at a potential diagnosis or plan of care.
- What if the statement was 'Priti's father is the only son of my father'? In that case, 'Priti's father' would be Amit, making Priti Amit's daughter.
How to Approach the Question
- First, identify the speaker of the statement, which is Amit.
- Break the statement into smaller parts. Start from the end of the sentence with the phrase 'my father'.
- Solve the core relationship: 'the only son of my father'. Since Amit is the speaker and a male, this person is Amit himself.
- Substitute this finding back into the original statement: 'Priti's brother is Amit'.
- From this simplified statement, deduce the final relationship: If Amit is Priti's brother, Priti is his sister.
