Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 27(a) of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 provides that, for the purpose of succession, there is no distinction between those related to the deceased through the father (agnates) and those related through the mother (cognates), so "Section 27(a)" is the answer. Section 27(b) removes the distinction between full blood and half blood, section 26 explains degrees of collateral consanguinity, and section 33A deals with the share of a widow where the intestate leaves no lineal descendants.
