Pointing to a lady in the photograph, Sujata said, "Her son's father is the son-in-law of my mother." How is Sujata related to the lady?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Sister
A statement of this kind is solved one relation at a time, starting with the lady in the photograph:
“Her son’s father” — the father of the lady’s son is the lady’s husband
“The son-in-law of my mother” — a son-in-law is a daughter’s husband, so the lady’s husband is married to a daughter of Sujata’s mother
That daughter is the lady herself. The lady in the photograph is someone other than Sujata, so she is another child of Sujata’s mother, and Sujata and the lady are sisters
