Ravi and Sumit are brothers. Tara is the daughter of Ravi. Nisha is the wife of Sumit. How is Nisha related to Tara?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Aunt
The brother of one’s father is one’s uncle, and the uncle’s wife is one’s aunt.
Tara is the daughter of Ravi, so Ravi is Tara’s father
Sumit is Ravi’s brother, so Sumit is Tara’s paternal uncle
Nisha is the wife of Sumit, so Nisha is Tara’s aunt
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) Mother — Incorrect. Nisha is the wife of Tara’s uncle Sumit; the wife of one’s father’s brother is one’s aunt, not one’s mother.
Option (3) Sister — Incorrect. Nisha is the wife of Tara’s father’s brother, so she belongs to her father’s generation.
Option (4) Grandmother — Incorrect. Nisha is the wife of Tara’s uncle, one generation above Tara, not two.
