Appeared in: NVS- 2025

Explanation

• The question requires deducing the relationship between M and J based on a series of family connections.
• The key clue is 'J is the maternal grandfather of N'. A maternal grandfather is the father of one's mother.
• Since M is the mother of N, it follows directly that J is the father of M.
• If J is the father of M, then M is the daughter of J.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: M is the sister of G and H, as established by the first two statements. Her relationship to J is across a different generation (parent-child).
• Option B: The problem describes a direct-descent (parental) relationship, not a marital one. J is M's father.
• Option C: N is the grandchild of J. M is in the generation between J and N, making her J's direct offspring (daughter).

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical reasoning and blood relations as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• While not a clinical question, this type of logical reasoning is a component of the General Intelligence section in many nursing entrance and recruitment exams.
• The ability to map relationships is analogous to creating a genogram, a tool used in community health and psychiatric nursing to understand family dynamics, support systems, and hereditary disease patterns.
• What if the question asked how G is related to J? Since G is the brother of M, and J is the father of M, J would also be the father of G. Therefore, G would be the son of J.

How to Approach the Question

• Read each statement carefully to establish individual relationships.
• It can be helpful to draw a simple diagram or family tree to visualize the connections.
• Focus on the definitions of relationship terms. The key here is 'maternal grandfather', which means 'mother's father'.
• Connect the statements logically: N's mother is M. N's maternal grandfather is J. Therefore, J is the father of M.
• From the established fact (J is M's father), deduce the reverse relationship: M is J's daughter.
• Check the final answer against the provided options and eliminate the incorrect ones based on the logical deductions.
