Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the family relationship described by Seema and identify how the man is related to her.

1. Understanding the Concepts:

- Family Relationship: A logical deduction of how people are connected based on given statements.
- Mother's Only Son: Implies Seema has one brother (if she is not the only child).
- Brother of that Son: Refers to another male related to Seema's family.

2. Given Values:

Statement: “He is the brother of my mother’s only son.”

- Seema’s mother’s only son = Seema’s brother
- The man is the brother of Seema’s brother

3. Analyzing the Relationship:

If the man is the brother of Seema's brother, then the man is also Seema’s brother.

Final Answer:

The man is Seema’s brother.
