+1 Generation : Son, Daughter, Son-in-Law, Daughter-in-Law, Nephew, Niece
+2 Generation : Grand Sons and Grand Daughters

POINTS TO REMEMBER :

If the question is "How is A related to B". Then you must know the gender of A to
answer the question
o Without knowing A's gender, you cannot determine the relation from A to B
If a person is Uncle or Aunt to "A", A is that person's nephew (if A is Male) or niece
(if A is female)
Cousin is a common Gender (I mean, you can use this word for both Male and
Female)
o Ex : A says to B, "you are the son of my grand father's only son".
How is B related to A?
How is A related to B?
o Ans :
B is Brother of A.
My grand father's only son = A's father (grand father's only son
means only ONE son.. No other son and no daughter also)
A is either brother or sister to B
A and B are siblings. B is brother to A as we know the Gender of
B. But we dont know the Gender of A. So we cant say whether A is Brother or Sister to B.

Pointing towards a girl, a Person said, "She is the only daugher of the
