If A says that his mother is the only daughter of B's mother, how is B related to A?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Maternal Uncle
1. Analyze the statement
The core of the puzzle is: "Only daughter of B's mother."
-
B's mother has an "only daughter."
-
This daughter must be B's sister (if B is male) or B herself (if B is female).
2. Connect the relationship to A
A says: "His (A's) mother is that person (the only daughter of B's mother)."
-
This means A's mother and B's sister (or B) are the same person.
-
If A's mother is B's sister, then B is the brother of A's mother.
-
The brother of one's mother is called a Maternal Uncle.
B is related to A as Maternal Uncle, making Option (3) the correct choice.
