Hint:

In family riddles, "daughter-in-law" usually indicates the person is the wife of the speaker's (or referenced parent's) son.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyse options.
- Sudeep is the only brother of Ashok. - Dheeraj is the father of Sudeep, so Dheeraj is also the father of Ashok. - Veena is the daughter-in-law of Kalyani and sister-in-law of Ashok (meaning she is likely Sudeep's wife). - Since Veena is the daughter-in-law of Kalyani and her husband's (Sudeep/Ashok) father is Dheeraj, Kalyani must be Dheeraj's wife.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Kalyani is the mother of Ashok. Final Answer: (c) Mother
