Shyam said, “Deepak's mother is the mother of my father's wife.” How is Deepak related to Shyam?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Mother’s brother
Read the statement from Shyam’s side, one link at a time:
“My father’s wife” is Shyam’s mother.
Deepak’s mother is the mother of Shyam’s mother, so Deepak and Shyam’s mother are children of the same mother: Deepak is a sibling of Shyam’s mother.
Of the options, only mother’s brother (maternal uncle) is a sibling of Shyam’s mother.
