Approach towards Blood Relation Questions:
Read the question or instruction carefully.
Try to resolve the relation step by step. Always solve statement in generation. By this approach it will be less puzzling for you and time saving.

Example: Looking at a picture he said, ‘He is my grandmother’s daughter-in-law’s only son’s wife’
Grandmother’s daughter-in-law is his mother. Mother’s only son is he himself. So the the person in the picture is his wife.
If in the question paternal or maternal is not clearly mentioned, then solve the question assuming paternal side.
Always be careful about “He’, “She”, “His”, “Her”. Because this we can determine gender.
Try to draw the family tree while solving the questions; it reduces the chances of error and 
confusion.
