Question

In an extended family, A is married to B and B has two sons C and D. The younger son D is married to E. F has two children E and G. How is G related to D?

• A. Brother
• B. Brother in law
• C. Cousin
• D. Son

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine how G is related to D, let us analyze the relationships described in the given information:

1. A is married to B, and B has two sons, C and D. This implies:
   • B is the mother or father of C and D.
   • C and D are siblings (brothers).
2. The younger son, D, is married to E. So, E is D's wife.
3. F has two children, E and G. This means:
   • E and G are siblings since they are both children of F.

Now, to determine how G is related to D:

• D is married to E.
• E and G are siblings.

In this family structure, G is the sibling of D's wife, E. Thus, G is D's brother-in-law.

Therefore, the relationship between G and D is accurately described as "brother-in-law."

Let's evaluate the given options to confirm the correct answer:

• Brother: This would imply G and D have the same parents, which is not the case.
• Brother-in-law: Correct. Since G is the sibling of D's wife (E), G is D's brother-in-law.
• Cousin: This would imply G and D are the children of siblings, which is not correct.
• Son: This would mean G is a direct descendant of D, which is incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is: Brother-in-law.
