Question

Introducing a boy, a girl said, “He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle.” How is the boy related to the girl?

• A. Brother
• B. Nephew
• C. Uncle
• D. Son-in-law

Hint:

In blood-relation problems: • Start from the innermost relation • Draw a small family tree if needed

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Father of my uncle = my grandfather.
Step 2: Daughter of my grandfather = my aunt.
Step 3: Son of that daughter (aunt) = my cousin. But since the girl refers to my uncle as her own uncle, the daughter of the father of her uncle can also be her mother.
Step 4: Son of her mother = her brother.
