MAT Exam 2025 Paper

Concept:Identify $\mathrm{U}$'s father as the husband of the only mother, $\mathrm{V}$, and eliminate impossible candidates using the given blood relations.Explanation:$\mathrm{V}$ has a husband, so $\mathrm{V}$ is female. There is only one mother in the family, so $\mathrm{V}$ must be the mother of $\mathrm{U}$ and $\mathrm{X}$. Therefore, $\mathrm{U}$'s father must be $\mathrm{V}$'s husband. $\mathrm{Y}$ is the brother of $\mathrm{V}$'s husband, so $\mathrm{Y}$ cannot be the husband. $\mathrm{X}$ is the sister of $\mathrm{U}$, so $\mathrm{X}$ cannot be the father. $\mathrm{W}$ is the grandfather of $\mathrm{U}$, so $\mathrm{W}$ cannot be the father either. Thus, among the given persons, only $\mathrm{Z}$ remains. Also, $\mathrm{W}$ is the father of $\mathrm{Z}$, and $\mathrm{W}$ is the grandfather of $\mathrm{U}$, confirming that $\mathrm{Z}$ is the parent of $\mathrm{U}$. Answer:Option A. $\mathrm{Z}$ is $\mathrm{U}$'s father.
