E
B
G
A
Solution:
From the given conditions, first we try to complete blood relation tree. We have some given points in the conditions. By using these points we can deduce blood-relation tree. The given points are like as G’s grandchild, B’s brother-in-law, B is the niece of F, E’s child; C is neither the second generation person of the family nor father-in-law of E, C’s daughter, G’s sister, D’s maternal Grandmother, E is father of D and son-in-law of G, C’s sister-in-law, E’s brother, E’s father-in-law.
