Five persons \( \mathrm{K}, \mathrm{L}, \mathrm{M}, \mathrm{N} \) and O are sitting around a dining table. K is the mother of \( \mathrm{M}, \mathrm{M} \) is actually the wife of \( \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N} \) is the brother of \( K \) and \( L \) is the husband of \( K \) , how \(L \) is related to \( O \) ?
The best way to solve this blood relation puzzle is to combine the clues to build a simple family tree. The fact that they are sitting around a table is extra information not needed to find the answer.
L (male) <=> K (female).Putting these key relationships together gives us the following family structure:
(The other person, N, is the brother of K, making him M's uncle).
- The question asks for the relationship of L to O.
- Looking at our family tree, L is the father of M.
- M is the wife of O.
- The father of a person's wife is their father-in-law.
Final Answer: L is O's Father-in-law.
