A’s father is B’s son-in-law. C, A’s sister, is the daughter of P. How is P related to B
Answer: D
Correct answer: Cannot be determined
C is A’s sister and P’s daughter, so P is a parent of both A and C. A’s father is B’s son-in-law, which means A’s mother is B’s daughter. P is therefore either A’s father - and so B’s son-in-law - or A’s mother, and so B’s daughter. Nothing settles which, so the relation cannot be determined.
