Answer

Either (1) or (2)
D.
(1) and (2) both

Answer: Option B

Solution

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