Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: To solve blood relation puzzles accurately, we can break down complex statements by working backward from the perspective of the speaker (Shilpa) to map out the generational relationships.

Step 1: Decoding the speaker's side of the statement.
Let us look at the final part of Shilpa's statement: " the father of my son Akash" * Shilpa is referring to her own son, Akash. * The "father of Shilpa's son" must be Shilpa's husband.

Step 2: Connecting this to Kavish's family line.
Now let us look at the first part of Shilpa's statement, substituting our finding from Step 1: "His (Kavish's) mother's brother is [Shilpa's husband]" This tells us that: * Kavish's mother's brother is Shilpa's husband. * In other words, the brother of Kavish's mother is Shilpa's husband. * Looking at it from the other side, Shilpa's husband is the brother of Kavish's mother. This means Kavish's mother is the sister of Shilpa's husband.

Step 3: Finding the final relationship between Kavish and Shilpa.
* Since Kavish's mother is the sister of Shilpa's husband, Kavish's mother is Shilpa's sister-in-law. * Kavish is the son of Shilpa's husband's sister. * The child of one's sibling-in-law (or sibling) is classified as a nephew or niece based on gender. Since "Kavish" is a male name and referred to with masculine pronouns ("His mother's brother"), Kavish is Shilpa's nephew. Therefore, the relationship matches Option (B).
