Solution

(1-2): Mohan is the father of Varuna and Xakota
          Xakota is the husband of Ruma
          Poly is the mother of Ruma
1.The gender of Y is not given.
   Therefore, Y is either grandson or granddaughter of Mohan.

2.Harun is the father of Ruma.
   Ruma is the wife of Xakota.
   Therefore, Xakota is the son-in-law of Harun.
(3-7):
                                                                                                    R 
          L                                                                                        I 
          E                                                                                        G 
          F                                                                                        H 
          T ||Jyoti||Prakash||Rajesh||Mayank||Kapil||Lalit||Qureshi|| T 

8.very good dancers = 3 2 5
   good bike stunts = 7 3 4
   dancers doing stunts = 7 9 2
   The code for 'doing' is '9'

(9-10): ? > ? > ? > Bubbli  >  ?
           Dodo > Annie > Chutki
           Dodo > Annie > Chutki > Bubbli > Ema
              ↓                           ↓
            17                          11
9.Chutki has 11 flowers.
   So, Bubbli has 11  ̶  4 = 7 flowers.

10.Annie has the second most number of flowers.
