Question:

In a family of 8 persons with two couples, P is the son of Q and brother of R. S is the daughter of M, who is married to R. T is the aunt of S and mother of V. R's nephew W is the son of P and has a sister V. How is V related to M?

Options:

Nephew

Daughter

Niece

Cousin

Correct Answer:

Niece

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Niece

To determine the relationship between V and M, we can break down the family connections step-by-step:

1. The Core Siblings and Couples

  • P is the son of Q.
  • P and R are brothers (both sons of Q).
  • M is married to R. (Since R is a brother/male, M is his wife).
  • P is married to T. (We know this because T is the mother of V, and P is the father of V—see below).

2. The Children (The Next Generation)

  • S is the daughter of M and R.
  • P has a son named W (who is R's nephew).
  • W has a sister named V. Therefore, V is the daughter of P.
  • Since T is the mother of V, it confirms that P and T are a couple.

3. Analyzing the Relationship: V and M

  • V is the daughter of P.
  • M is the wife of P's brother (R).
  • Therefore, V is the daughter of M's brother-in-law.
  • In family relations, the daughter of one's brother or brother-in-law is a Niece.

Conclusion

V is the Niece of M (and M is the Aunt of V).
