A man said to a woman, "The only son of your brother is a brother of my wife." How is that woman related to the wife of that man?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Aunt
The man speaks to the woman, so “your brother” is the woman’s brother. Read the sentence one link at a time:
“The only son of your brother” is the son of the woman’s brother.
This son is “a brother of my wife”, so the man’s wife is the daughter of the woman’s brother.
The woman is the sister of the wife’s father, that is, the wife’s aunt (father’s sister).
