The first is the best. The second doesn't preserve the order as well, but is also correct. The third is awkward but understandable. In most situations, native speakers will use the first or "John and Jill are brother and sister."

The last one is wrong because we are talking about one pair of siblings.

The middle one is also wrong cause first you Said sister's name than the brother's name and the sentence first say brother than sister.

The first one is correct cause it's talking about one pair of siblings,it first says sister than brother and their are no more mistakes
