How is A related to B?

They are siblings (given in the questions, before the statements).

Hence neither of the statements are required.

They never mentioned A's or B's gender.

I think answer should be D because both indicates that A is female means A is sister of B.

Bhumi said:   4 years ago
It should be D, because I, II are related not related.

Joy said:   5 years ago
Answer would be D because none the statement are related to B.

I think the answer should be A because here you get the relation between A and B and E is unwanted here so E is not needed.

I think the answer should be E and not C as both the statements are required to ascertain the relationship between A and B.

@Crazy.

Here, A is sister of C so A is female and its clear she is sister of B and coming to option 2 it says E is husband of A again proving A is female.

E is the husband of A might mean that E and A are homosexuals. Hence, A can be a male or female.
