Ritu is Reena’s sister. Reena’s father is Rajesh. What is Rajesh’s relation to Ritu?
Appeared in: RML MAINS 2025
Explanation
- The first statement, 'Ritu is Reena’s sister,' establishes that they are siblings.
- By definition, siblings share the same parents.
- The second statement, 'Reena’s father is Rajesh,' identifies the father for this sibling pair.
- Therefore, if Rajesh is Reena's father, he must also be Ritu's father.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: A brother is a male sibling and belongs to the same generation as Ritu. Rajesh is identified as being in the parent's generation.
- Option B: An uncle is the brother of a parent. The premise explicitly states Rajesh is the father, a direct relationship, not a collateral one like an uncle.
- Option D: A grandfather is the father of a parent, which is two generations removed. Rajesh is only one generation removed from Ritu, as her father.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning: Family Relationships as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- While not a clinical question, this type of logical reasoning is a foundational skill for nurses.
- It is essential for accurately interpreting patient information, especially when documenting complex family medical histories or creating genograms.
- Strong deductive skills help nurses connect different pieces of patient data to make sound clinical judgments.
How to Approach the Question
- First, identify the individuals mentioned: Ritu, Reena, and Rajesh.
- Break down the given statements into simple facts. Fact 1: Ritu and Reena are sisters. Fact 2: Rajesh is Reena's father.
- Analyze the relationship between the first two individuals. 'Sisters' means they are female siblings and share the same parents.
- Connect the second fact to this understanding. If Rajesh is the father of one sister (Reena), he must also be the father of the other sister (Ritu).
- Formulate the final relationship: Rajesh is Ritu's father.
- Compare this conclusion with the given options to select the correct answer.
