Pointing towards a gentleman, Rahul said, "His only brother is the father of my daughter's father." How is the gentleman related to Rahul?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Uncle
A statement of this kind is solved from the end: work out the last relation first and move back to the gentleman.
“My daughter’s father” — the father of Rahul’s daughter is Rahul himself
“The father of my daughter’s father” — so this is Rahul’s father
“His only brother is … Rahul’s father” — so the gentleman is the brother of Rahul’s father
