Pointing towards a boy, a girl said, "He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle." How is the boy related to the girl?
Step-by-step Solution:
Answer: (A) Brother
Let's break down the statement made by the girl:
"He is the son of the daughter of the father of my uncle."
However, in blood relation problems, when a simpler and direct relationship exists, it is usually the intended answer.
In this case, Brother is a more direct relation than Cousin when the phrasing allows for both interpretations.
The most direct interpretation of "daughter of the father of my uncle" leading to the boy being a brother
is when that daughter is the speaker's mother. Therefore, the boy is the girl's brother.
