A man said to a woman, "Your husband's daughter is the daughter of my brother." How is the man related to the woman's daughter?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Father's brother
The man's sentence is read one link at a time, starting from the woman:
“Your husband's daughter” is the woman's own daughter, the daughter of the woman and her husband.
She is “the daughter of my brother”, so her father, the woman's husband, is the man's brother.
The man is therefore the brother of the daughter's father, that is, her father's brother (paternal uncle).
