Explanation

Lakshmi's brother is directly across the net from her daughter. The son is diagonally across from the worst player's sibling. The best and worst players are on the same side of the net. If Lakshmi’s brother is the best player, then Lakshmi (his sibling) is the worst player, and they are on the same side of the net.

Thus, the teams are:

Side 1: Lakshmi (worst) and her brother (best). Side 2: Her son and her daughter.
