Blood Relation Questions and Answers

Answer: C

The lady is Kaushik's aunt.

Work from the inside out. The husband of Kaushik's mother is his father. The mother of his father is his paternal grandmother. The daughter of his paternal grandmother is his father's sister, his aunt.

The grandmother is the woman described in the middle of the chain, not the lady herself. A sister would have to be a daughter of Kaushik's mother, and 'Brother' cannot describe a lady at all.

Answer: A

x is father of y.

The only daughter of x's mother-in-law is x's wife, because a mother-in-law is the mother of one's wife. So the statement says that y's mother is x's wife. Drawing the chain helps: x's mother-in-law, then her only daughter (x's wife), then that daughter's child, y.

The child of x's wife is x's own child, and y is a woman, so y is x's daughter and x is y's father. x cannot be y's brother, since y's mother is his wife, and he is not y's husband, since he is married to y's mother.
