There can be many answer to this puzzle. The "if" condition is a problem, for "if" may not happen.

The answer is that Mr. Bajaj's wife is Doctor and her son is engineer.

The answer is:


     Mr. Bajaj is the Engineer and either his wife or his son is the Doctor.

Mr. Bajaj 's  wife and mother are not blood relatives. So from 3, if the Engineer is a female, the Doctor is a male. But from 1, if the Doctor is a male, then the Engineer is a male. Thus, there is a contradiction, if the Engineer is a female. Hence, either Mr. Bajaj or his son is the Engineer.

  Mr. Bajaj's son is the youngest of all four and is blood relative of each of them. So from 2, Mr. Bajaj's son is not the Engineer. Hence, Mr. Bajaj is the Engineer.

Now from 2, Mr. Bajaj's mother can not be the Doctor. So the Doctor is either his wife or his son . It is not possible to determine anything further.
