Solution

To solve the problem, let's analyze the relationships step by step.

1. Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify relationships based on the provided statements.
  2. Determine how B is related to E using the established relationships.

2. Relevant Concepts

  • Family relationships (siblings, father-in-law, children).
  • Understanding lineage and generational connections.

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. M has two children: Let’s denote M's children as B and C.

  2. M is the son of E: This means E is M's father, which makes E the grandfather of M's children (B and C).

  3. E is the father-in-law of H: This means that H must be married to one of M's siblings (not directly to M), but we need to confirm the exact relationship later.

  4. H has only one son: This son can either be the child of B or C or another child, but it is not relevant for the main relationship determination between B and E.

  5. C is not the granddaughter of E: Since C is not E’s granddaughter, it means C must be a boy. Therefore, C is a son and not a daughter. As such, M (son of E) must be a father to both B and C.

Since we earlier stated that B is a child of M and M is a son of E, it follows that B is a grandchild of E.

4. Verify and Summarize

  • M is the son of E.
  • C is a son of M (therefore a child of E).
  • B is also a child of M (and therefore a grandchild of E).
  • We have established that C's gender does not affect the fact that B is still E's grandchild.

Final Answer

B is the grandchild of E.
