Kalam says, “Ravi’s mother is the only daughter of my mother”. How is Kalam related to Ravi?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Maternal Uncle
Read the statement from the end: “the only daughter of my mother” is a daughter of Kalam’s mother, so she is Kalam’s sister (or Kalam herself).
Ravi’s mother is that only daughter, so Ravi’s mother and Kalam are children of the same mother.
Kalam’s mother has only one daughter, and she is Ravi’s mother; so Kalam, a different person, cannot be a daughter: Kalam is a son, the brother of Ravi’s mother.
The brother of one’s mother is one’s maternal uncle.
