Amit and Pankaj are brothers. Rekha is the daughter of Kapil and sister of Amit. How is Pankaj's mother related to Kapil?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Wife
Each clue is turned into a relation, and the clues are joined through the person they share.
Amit and Pankaj are brothers, so they have the same parents.
Rekha is the sister of Amit, so Rekha, Amit and Pankaj are children of the same parents.
Rekha is the daughter of Kapil, so Kapil is a parent of all three, and so of Pankaj.
Pankaj’s mother is his other parent:
Kapil cannot be the mother herself, since the question asks how she is related to Kapil
So Kapil is the father and Pankaj’s mother is Kapil’s wife
