Map the family tree using generational layers: K and S (Husband/Wife) are generation 1; their child E (parent of Q) and T/B (E's siblings) represent the child generation of K/S.
Establish the parental generation
K is the husband of S, so K (+) and S (-) are a married couple. S is the mother of B. Since S is the mother of B and K is the husband of S, K must be the father of B.
Establish the children's generation
B is the sister of T and T is the brother of E. Therefore, B, T, and E are all siblings. Since K and S are the parents of B, they are also the parents of T and E.
Determine the relationship between T and K
Since T is a child of K (the father), T is the son of K.
A: T is in the generation below K, so he cannot be a brother; B: K is the father, so T cannot be the father of K; D: T is established as the brother of E and B (the sister), and given as the brother of E, T is male, thus he cannot be a daughter.
C is correct because T is the son of K, as K and S are the parents of the siblings B, T, and E.
In blood relation questions, always identify the common link (parent) first to connect disjointed sibling groups into a single family tree.
