1. C is the brother of A and the son of E.
2. F is the mother B.

• A. Only $\left(1\right)$
• B. Only $\left(2\right)$
• C. Either $\left(1\right)$ and $\left(2\right)$
• D. $\left(1\right)$ and $\left(2\right)$ both

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only $\left(2\right)$

A and B are children of D.
From $\left(1\right)$, C is the brother B and son of E.
Since, the sex of D and E are not known. Hence $\left(1\right)$ is not sufficient to answer the question.
From $\left(2\right)$. F is the mother of B. Hence, F is also the mother of A. Hence D is the father of A.
Thus, $\left(2\right)$ is sufficient to answer the question.

option B.
