A and B are not related by blood. In fact, your mother and father are not related by blood, usually. (in the 1800's a lot of people married a cousin, but that is rare today.) They are related by law and, we hope, by love and 10 - 40 years of shared joys and sorrows.
Look at it this way:
A DNA test could tell you and your cousins on your father's side were related. It could tell you and your cousins on your mother's side were related. It could not tell your mother and father were husband and wife, if they were the only two people tested; as soon as we test a third party - your DNA, we could tell half of it came from your mom and half from your dad, so we would know they were your parents.
Some people use the term "cousin's cousin" - you are A's cousin, and B is your cousin - but it isn't used very often.

If your mum and dad were not maried at the time they would not be related. But if they were married then they are.
This situation is a little complicated.
If you want further information you could contact the Mormon Church in your area as they deal with these situations every day it does not matter if your not a morman they will be happy to help.
They have helped me with family history in the past and i am not a morman.
Good Luck

They are not related, unless of course your family has some inter relations. My grandfather on my mothers side was my great uncle on my fathers side. He was married twice, first to my Fathers aunt then to my mothers mother, confusing huh.

No, they wouldn't be related, because they come from 2 different family's. Althought they would be distantly related to you, because they are seperatley related to your parents, they wouldn't be related to each other.
