Pointing to a man, Sunita said to her friend, “His only sister is the mother of my mother’s son.” How is the man related to Sunita?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Maternal uncle
Read the sentence from the end. The brother of one’s mother is one’s maternal uncle.
Sunita is a girl (“her friend”), so her mother’s son is Sunita’s brother
The mother of Sunita’s brother is Sunita’s mother
So the man’s only sister is Sunita’s mother, which makes the man her mother’s brother
The brother of Sunita’s mother is Sunita’s maternal uncle
