Kindly clarify the difference between two questions.Will the brother sell the share of her sister after it is relinquished in his favour?

I think this will fall under sec 49(1),i.e., Previous Owner Case.
Here, because property divided into 4 persons and if ratio is not given then this should be 25% each. Means, If Cost of Acquistion is Rs. 1,00,000 for the Father then COA will be Rs. 25,000 per person.
Now, because sister relinquised her title therefore, it should also covered in section 49(1), means without any CONSIDERATION she transferred his property to her brother. Therefore, no taxability in the hands of Sister. However, when brother sell this property then COA of the property will be Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 50,000.
However, if sister charged anything then according to that amount there will be capital gain in the hands of Sister.
