Question

A family has seven members, A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Among them there are three married couples. B, an engineer, is the father of E, who is a student. F, a contractor, is the grandfather of E. C is the daughter-in-law of D, who is a professor. G, a doctor, is the uncle of the student E. Among the seven members there is one journalist, one housewife and one student. C is the sister-in-law of B. The student, E, is single.

Who is E's aunt?

• A. D
• B. A
• C. G
• D. C

Hint:

An aunt can be the wife of your father's brother; since G is B's brother, G's wife C is E's aunt.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Recall the settled family structure.
From the clues, F and D are E's grandparents (F is stated to be the grandfather, and D is his wife, since C is D's daughter-in-law). Their two sons are B, E's father, and G, who is called the uncle of the student E. G's wife is C, since C is D's daughter-in-law and also B's sister-in-law, which only fits if C married G, B's brother.

Step 2: Recall what an aunt means.
An aunt is either the sister of one of your parents, or the wife of your parent's brother. Since G is E's father's brother, G's wife automatically becomes E's aunt by marriage.

Step 3: Rule out the other names.
D is E's grandmother, one generation too old to be an aunt. A, if she is B's wife, is E's mother, not an aunt. G himself is male, an uncle rather than an aunt. Only C fits, as the wife of E's father's brother.

Final Answer:
E's aunt is C.
\[ \boxed{\text{C}} \]
