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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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).
