Blood Relation

Any relation in the world which either by birth or by marriage is called a Blood Relation.

Ex: Any relation by birth will be mother, father, son, daughter, etc. and any relation by marriage will be father-in-law, mother-in-law, etc.

Dialogue/ Conversation Based – In such questions, one person describes his/her relation with another person (this may or may not be related to the person with whom the conversation is being made).
Based on Puzzles – To make the questions complex, blood relation questions are also being asked in the form of a puzzle. A piece of brief information about multiple people being interrelated is given and sub-questions based on the same may be asked.
Coding-Decoding – The relationship between two people may be denoted using symbols. This has become a common method of asking blood relation questions in competitive exams, nowadays.

There also are a few things which need to be kept in mind while solving the blood relation questions. Given below are few such important pointers:

You cannot assume the gender of the person based on the name
If the statement says X is the son of Y, the gender of Y cannot be determined unless mentioned in the question
In puzzle based questions, a web of relations can be formed, so do not solve such questions in a haste
These questions are scoring and easy to solve, so do not panic if the question seems lengthy
In case of coding-decoding blood relation, use a pictorial description to solve the question. This will make the symbols and relation more clear
